I have absolutely no doubt at all that China would do that sort of thing in a highly targeted way, but it seems wildly implausible that they would do it so irresponsibly. Their chip manufacturing industry is far too important for them to cripple it in that way.
- rossdavidh 8y agoHmmm..."wildly implausible"? That's pretty strong wording. "They might not want to do it this way", I could believe. But that the individual(s) in the government concerned with a particular intelligence hack might not have thought through all the consequences for China's chip manufacturing industry, is not so far out there as to be "wildly implausible", I think. Which doesn't mean, of course, that it did in fact happen (this way).
