The Wall Street Journal's earlier report about an expected record-setting 2016 in regards to chinese investment in the United States was right. Newegg Inc., one of the most popular online tech-related retailers, is now reportedly owned by chinese company Hangzhao Liaison Interactive Information Technology Co., Ltd. (Liaison Interactive).
After September's reports of a significant investment from the Chinese company on Newegg, which would allow the California-based company to "accelerate the pursuit of the company's strategic initiatives" and into high-growth markets such as eSports, VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Augmented Reality), it now appears that the investment was much more than a simple capital infusion: it was a bid towards controlling an effective majority in the American company's shares.

How do you buy electronics then? Drive to the first factory handling raw materials, tour the facilities, accompany the parts as they go through the manufacturing process and a number of other factories. before plucking the final product fresh off the final assembly line?

I go to a physical store and buy it. At least that way I only get the generic embedded malware, and not the special stuff that the NSA are specifically targetting at ME!
