What I found interesting about this motherboard hardware virus is that ever=
ybody is denying it happened, even the victims, since it's classified.  Som=
ebody in the US government, for national security reasons, does not want th=
e American public to know about China's misbehavior.  It makes you wonder i=
f China is really such an enemy as Trump claims.

As the Bloomberg article said, quoting some expert, the American public mad=
e a Faustian bargain with China:  cheap prices and low security or high pri=
ces and high security (for computers)?  They choose the former.
