This isn't the first time a company shipped malicious hardware.

About 20 or 30 years ago Apple shipped some keyboards with malware on them.

The number of literate people in China is 4 times the entire US population.

Which is an irrelevant statistic if you are comparing equal sized factories in the US vs China. I'm not saying the GP's point was valid, but that yours is stupid.

Talking about it, how's your Chinese?

Probably better than yours. But if you wanted to work on that, they are hiring white people in China to be white...
