wouldn’t a better strategy be have china depend on those product but require a sorts of built-on remote control in them in case of a conflict.
Edit: I knew this would get downvoted quickly. Hey, mr or ms judge of truth, how about you check what nvidia services run on your machine before wielding all that power.
Edit: why disagree?
“Knowing where the chips go is probably a very good thing. You could for example, on every chip put in essentially a public private key pair, which authenticates it and allows it to work”.

What he won’t tell is that this is already a reality, as I learned after having my air-gapped system and Pixel phone wiped remotely for researching “silent speech interfaces”. There is no security when silicon trojans are in all devices.
intel SGX already involves a per-chip keypair with intel as the root of trust. it just isn't required to use the rest of the chip

> Eric Schmidt, the former Google chairman, told Reuters in a recent interview that high-end processors should have kill-switches.

I truly believe you're very concerned about all the things you talk about, but if you want to convince people to also believe then there needs to be more from your side.
And no, suggesting that people perform ptychographic x-ray laminography on their chips isn't a practical suggestion.
People with willingness and means can find me anyways.
"It's not technically hard to make a device that complies with the FCC that listens to nonpublic bands but then is quietly waiting for some activation trigger to listen to other bands," said Eduardo Rojas, who leads the radio spectrum lab at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida. "Technically, it's feasible."
To prove a device had clandestine capabilities, Rojas said, would require technical experts to strip down a device "to the semi-conductor level" and "reverse engineer the design." But, he said, it can be done.

One way it can be done:
