True, probably the NSA wanted to smear the Chinese when in fact they are the ones implanting bugs in hardware.

    Maybe the Chinese wanted to smear the NSA by making it look like the NSA was trying to smear the Chinese when the NSA in fact were the ones implanting bugs in the hardware...

      Given the embarrassingly bad security practices of hardware vendors (see recent secure boot key leak) do the spy agencies require deliberate backdoors anymore? I have lost count of the number of times Cisco has shipped a hardcoded admin password.

      You are joking, but that's probably the truth... Or at least that's what the NSA wants us to think!

      Maybe everyone was implanting bugs and blamed the other party for being too sloppy and getting caught.
