Possible to do, yes. Possible to do without Apple or Amazon noticing? Probably not. Could China drop a spy chip into a motherboard that some random consumer buys on Newegg without getting caught? For a while, but someone would eventually notice. I’m sure the NSA has done similar hack on electronics destines for foreign countries.

System manufacturers already put in a back door for the convenience of their customers. No need for the spy chip from China, its already a "feature".

Look at the fun stuff you can do from a Baseboard Management Controller
