It makes sense, if the US is going to push against Huawei. Especially since Intel actually compromised their on chip random number generator a few years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDRAND https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDRAND Relevant quote "I am so glad I resisted pressure from Intel engineers to let /dev/random rely only on the RDRAND instruction. To quote from the [New York Times article[22]]: 'By this year, the Sigint Enabling Project had found ways inside some of the encryption chips that scramble information for businesses and governments, either by working with chipmakers to insert back doors....' Relying solely on the hardware random number generator which is using an implementation sealed inside a chip which is impossible to audit is a BAD idea." There are security problems with tech from all over the world.
