Here's another bit of evidence that they're purposely installing backdoors & malware in the equipment we outsource to China. If they're doing it to AMD, they're doing it to all the others too.
From Israel based CTS Labs: Among the most explosive claims in the white paper is the idea that there are “an array of hidden manufacturer backdoors inside AMD's Promontory chipsets” and “the Ryzen and Ryzen Pro chipsets, currently shipping with exploitable backdoors, could not have passed even the most rudimentary white-box security review.”
"backdoors were put in place by Taiwanese manufacturer ASMedia, a subsidiary of ASUSTeK, which was recently fined by the FTC for ignoring hardware vulnerabilities"
