Senators demand answers over Chinese 'spy chip'

  I'm still on the fence as to the veracity of this story. ~ 60% true, 40% maybe not so.

    It's true but there are Chinese that infiltrated this place and are censoring this stuff

      The reason for the suspicions are the counter stories about Bloomberg having "only one source" (not 17) and a story about Bloomberg's pattern of writing negative stories about Apple. So it introduces some (legit?) FUD: reporter personal beef/s, hate on the megacorp or legit stories stretching the truth. Either way, I hope some definitive, well-sourced, highly-documented stories come out from The Intercept or similar to clear up the dis/misinformation.

  The worst case would be if it's true, but Blomberg journalists did a bad job and everyone will assume the hack didn't happened

  When is the last time that someone answering "senators' demands for answers" has resulted in anything remotely punitive or (socially) productive? It seems that it is only productive for fanning political campaign fires and 'news' outlets.. so I'd honestly like to know when, if ever, this has been productive in other ways that actually matter.
