While something like this will no doubt be damaging to some large American tech companies, it is way worse for China. Are they really going to potentially devastate their entire economy over the long term over such an easy to detect hack?

That didn't make the NSA afraid of targeted interception campaigns.

I believe that secret services are doing everything we normal people dream of already, including stuff such as the hardware injections either in the Supermicro case or in the stuff the NSA did, and a good bunch more which we don't even know of yet.

Cyber warfare is all too real now.

We already know that they're constantly trying to hack American IP. Our economies are symbiotic. Hurting theirs would be hurting our own.
