How does geopolitical location make hardware and software secure? Hint: it does not. It is clear there is demand at some level for secure computation and patching current hardware and software is not going to get the job done. Certification and labels imply we know how to do something we'll enough to say this is the right way. It is clear that we do not, so certification of hardware is most likely to just ensure every chip has the same exact problems.
