US real culprit for backdoors on chips

HAVING “REPORTED” THAT US company SuperMicro’s hardware had been hacked by Chinese companies on Oct 4, Bloomberg issued another report on Tuesday, citing “new evidence”. China Daily writer Zhang Zhouxiang comments:

Several of the US companies involved, including SuperMicro, Apple and Amazon, have all denied the report, saying it is not true. Everyone with the most basic common sense knows who to trust.

Purely from the technological point of view, the Bloomberg report is rather absurd, even ridiculous.

There is the possibility of chips on motherboards being used as a backdoor. Each chip contains commands inside it, which help it to perform its expected functions. Some of the commands, if hidden from the user, can be used as a backdoor.

However, that must be done in the manufacturing process of the chips. The majority of the chips needed by China’s high-tech industries, especially those serving CPU, computer memory, hard disks, even ethernet connections are imported from the West, 人民足球(rénmín zúqiú)

A people’s football project jointly led by the Chinese Football Association and People.cn was recently launched in Beijing. The organizers of six social football matches that participated in the project have jointly signed the people's football convention.

The people's football project consists of a series of social football matches and activities. The project aims to invite all kinds of social football match organizers, football activity with the United States being the primary supplier. Do not forget how much Chinese company ZTE suffered when the US forbade exports of chips to it.

Therefore, if there is any backdoor found on chips, the suspect is the US, not China. As early as 2016, US company Intel was reported to have kept a backdoor on Management Engine, a program through which Intel can control a computer independently from its legal user. In November 2017, Intel was embroiled in another similar scandal.

We do not know why the US media organization is making such fake claims against China. Maybe they hope to damage the image of the Chinese high-tech industry, but everybody knows it is the US that’s both capable and willing to keep backdoors on their chips exported to other nations worldwide.

People’s football

participants and social institutions and enterprises to jointly promote the development of grassroots football.

Such social high-level football matches can help integrate resources and improve the image of the sport through communication and cooperation, in order to propel the healthy development of the sport.

The Chinese Football Association is providing guidance and support to relevant football matches, cultivating special organizing talents for the people’s football project and promoting the development of football in various regions around China.

Du Zhaocai, deputy director of the General Administration of Sport of China, said developing people’s football depends on the joint efforts of the government, market and society.

The people’s football project is not only a breakthrough for the development of football in China, but also an important channel to achieve the nation’s football dream.
