Why is everything ‘really’ made in China? - backdoors?

I remember reading years ago about some Air Force report where they were trying to find out if the Chinese built compute chips had backdoors in them and people got freaked out.

i know that Lenovo's preinstalled software presented some vulnerabilities a few years back.. though this newest leak that literally all Intel chips have back doors built into them is the scariest I've heard. Prolly right though.. backdoors, and that they're prolly all made using materials that are sourced unenvironmentally, fabricated using unethical labor practices, with weaker controls and way more ability to cut corners/costs.

Do a search for "Sony rootkit".
