No kidding...that’s such a surprise. The Chinese using an OPEN opportunity to spy on us. Who could have seen that coming?

This administration has the intelligence of an amoeba. That’s ONE amoeba.

Surprised? Not at all. I'd have been surprised if someone did a survey of chips/equipment made in China and found that none of them had "extra features."

Chips and systems are incredibly complex, and the means of extracting information from them so subtle it is insanity to use a potential adversary as a source.

How dare you insult such an obviously intellectually superior one-celled organism like that!

"We are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of Nature has placed in our power..... the battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave."

The administration doesn't buy the chips. They buy the items that the manufacturer put the chip in. The ire should be directed to the defense industry that puts profits before security.
