Look like I may have been wrong--perhaps this was a false story planted by certain US officials to slander China. Did Bloomberg get played?
Guys, you are worse than the ZeroHedge and similar conspiracy forums...
So the secret is so important that congress is under a gag order. The two highly valued companies in the US ( Apple and AMZN ) has a gag order. But litle old bloomberg doesn't have a gag order. Isn't that a bit unbelievable?

Doesn't this apply to bloomberg and the media as well? The entire country is immersed in conspiracy. Not sure why you are attacking HN and zerohedge in particular. What's with the sudden attack on social media with attacks like "conspiracy"?
What do you expect of us? The discussion has to involve conspiracies because the story deals with conspiracy. Either bloomberg is right and the chinese ( or possibly other actors ) are involved in a conspiracy to spy on us in ingenious ways. Or bloomberg is wrong and they are involved in a conspiracy ( knowingly or not ) to spread disinformation. Or it could be a misunderstanding.
* They never found mailicious chips planted on any server
* They never found a vulnerability planted on any server
* They were never contacted by the FBI about malicious chips or vulnerabilities
* They are willing to state this before congress
In my opinion, this disagrees with the biggest pieces of the Bloomberg piece. Does the word "purposefully" really negate Apple's statement? It could be a matter of opinion, my opinion is that it does not.
That they are willing to talk to Congress, to my mind, speaks to how far they are willing to go on this. IMHO, if they were under some kind of gag order they wouldn't be pushing this hard.
