But that seems even more bizarre. Who has the resources to do that but not the resources to come up with a cleaner frame up than this? If the aim is to make China look bad, why target a US company (Supermicro) instead of a Chinese company like Huawei or Lenovo?
If the responsible party is not American (or is American but has a vendetta against America too), then why not? After all, the allegations said that some very high profile American companies were compromised from the hack, so why not involve another one?
Besides, it's more shocking if the Chinese hacked an American manufacturer rather than a Chinese one (where they would't necessarily have to "hack" anything, just compel the manufacturer to do it)
