If you go around your house and look at the back of electronic devices you'll see some have a sticker usually on the back or text showing, a label a bit like you get on clothes showing manufacturer, model and serial id.

If you connect two devices to each other then they each have an electronic version of that sticker. A WiFi connection is not an internet connection. It's a direct connection between two devices in this case.

Though that can lead to more connectivity the only evidence that shows is a connection between two nearby devices.

Specifically what this means is that there is a TV in a room on the wall with a wireless access point embedded in it. Someone has gone into the room and then connected to that with their phone. They have then checked out the access point details on the phone and taken it's MAC address.

They have discovered the TV was made in China, that's what he's showing you. The equivalent of walking in, taking the TV off the wall and then sharing a photograph of the sticker on the back of it.

While it is a problem they're emitting open wireless that's not real time evidence of what he's specifically saying which is that there's real time two way communication over the internet with China.

There are good reasons for being vague with the details as you may not want to tell other people how to get in for example but this specific tidbit he's given doesn't back his claims.

The information he gave is of a TV. Someone could get one and take a look (though not guaranteed to be identical software) or look it up and it's capabilities (does it have a microphone embedded or anything like that). The manual will have a good chance of giving you a default master password for the device, especially the service manual.

Realistically he has to share more information to be able to verify his findings. The fact that he has strongly misrepresented a MAC address mapping to a Chinese manufacturer and a specific product as proof of active real time two way communication with China makes that even more vital.
