I was in Philadelphia recently, and this time-worn slab of cement was actually on my list of things to check out. It already looked aged when I moved to the neighborhood in 1995, and my roommate and I would always laugh and give props to the unknown etcher for the indelible nerd win.

The paper itself is not that China heavy, but it lists a lot of observed traffic routed to different, unexpected countries, including "proactive communication", the phoning-home aspect (tho it also links to a 2021 article discussing this with physical SIMs). Alongside possibility of data interception and location tracking and opaque ownership hierarchy of what are essentially white-label resellers, it also delves into the workflow of deploying eSIMs and weak points attackers could hit, not just in travel situations but also for private networks like hospitals and warehouses (think IoT). These things are convenient, but there's no guardrails.
