Yeah, what's easier?

  1. Developing a kill switch that can't be discovered and used against the States... somehow
  2. Not servicing parts.

Probably 2.

    Yup! Also, Chinese intelligence work is insane - the chances that America could keep a kill switch out of Chinese hands is so vanishingly thin that anyone with a brain would prefer that such a kill switch didn't exist so it couldn't be used against the US.
