The scenario I have in mind is China deciding that all hardware
used for sensitive applications -- government, banking,
military, etc. -- must be designed and made in China. I consider
this scenario at least reasonably likely. A security review ruse
probably wouldn't work, and we probably wouldn't trust that
hardware for sensitive applications anyway.
