    When did China put backdoors in chips?

      You know, revisiting some of these articles I read back in the day makes me wonder whether it was actually propaganda spun up by the US govt (or agents on behalf of it) to sow distrust in the Chinese government. With that being said, however, I wouldn’t trust any government or company with being any more truly secure - there’s too many incentives not to be.

      and if they did, how will they use it against us? Possible, but so difficult than it is unlikely.

      There’s a chip on display at the Spy Museum that is supposedly bugged by China. I think it was targeted and meant for equipment going to a military installation though.

            Oh, so you mean that “bugged chip” was provided by the CIA. I gues they made a pinky swear that its really, really from evil China.
