That's how it seems to be used in the USA - someone left-leaning that may well support more government intervention in the name of fairness.

Classical liberalism in contrast focuses on the liberty of the individual through limiting government.

The discoverability of a hardware hack as reported makes the whole thing fail to ring true for me.

As Joe alludes to, why do something so discoverable when there are numerous other attack vectors that would preserve plausible deniability?

It appears close to a one-time trick, if you’re China. Once the trust is gone, it’s not coming back. Supply chains are already coming back home due to automation and consequently less reliance on cheap manual labour.

The case would have to be compelling - something that could not be achieved otherwise. That case is yet to be made.
