I don't get that feeling in this specific case, but I'm wary of speculating. Patrick (the guy who hosts the podcast) and the source are probably the only two people who actually know. That said - listening to the podcast, where he interviews someone (who is not the source) and asks them near the end "Have you heard anything about this over the last few years? Have you heard any rumours or anything to suggest China is behaving in this way?" It is a really awkward silence and very nervous laugh, with a vague reply about having seen news reports. That bit is around 22:07 in the podcast if you want to skip ahead. Then maybe go research a bit about who the interviewee is.

Interesting. I’ll give it a listen. Thanks for the reference time as well.

> Have you heard anything about this over the last few years? Am I the only one? I don't take my recollection on this as fact, but I remember a story from a year or two ago that a large company (like Apple, Google, or Amazon) would take photographs of the boards they ordered before they were shipped (likely from China) and compare it to what was delivered. The way it was described was more like that was their security protocol because of suspicions/risks of it being tampered with in transit.
