Bogus story: no Chinese backdoor in military chip
http://j.mp/JxLp93 (Errata Security)
"Today's big news is that researchers have found proof of Chinese
manufacturers putting backdoors in American chips that the military
uses. This is false. While they did find a backdoor in a popular FPGA
chip, there is no evidence the Chinese put it there, or even that it
was intentionally malicious."

I agree with this article's analysis. The original story was
cyber-scaremongering.
