To be clear, there is a very real threat of China embedding chips that do "bad things" inside chips that are sold to the US (source: I once worked on a government contract and saw such chips - they were, to my knowledge, unrelated to this specific case). I'm not sure where that points, but there are strong motivations at play.

The key is ,,inside chips''. There's no reason to do those bad things on the die using an extra chip, as it's too easy to prove.
