The Chinese probably can't hack that and shut the system down.
If it still works, why change it?
You'd probably need power tools to shut that stuff down.
It's bit of a long term liability. At some point replacement parts won't be produced anymore and no one new will be taught how to maintain systems like these. Judging by the video they're aware of this and managing it.
That aside, it might be cheaper to use a new system as technology improves and you can use fewer people and need less maintenance.
