If your only concern is IP misappropriation, I understand your concern.
My concern is the possibility of backdoors in appliances like the HMC
and SE boxen.  The problem is we don't know just what the Chinese are
looking at nor for.  Neither can we know if any apparent acceptance by
them of the code as untainted is applicable to the code our machines
are running.  Are any other customers receiving such preferential
treatment (perhaps the good folks at No Such Agency)?
