</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">They could be talking about Hengzhi chips. They’re basically Chinese TPMs, but worse; they don’t follow trusted computing group guidelines, and as a result of this, no one knows anything about them.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">There’s been a few blowups about this over the years. Something related to this recently eviscerated ZTE, not that anything of value was lost there, and many moons ago Lenovo had controversy about their China-market laptops containing
Hengzhi chips.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">There have also been cases where de-capping and reversing various random chips has found there to be unknown, undocumented ICs contained within them.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">This isn’t the first, or last, time this will happen.</div>
