Intel informed Chinese companies, including Lenovo and Alibaba, of the Meltdown and Spectre flaws in its processors before the U.S. government found out from reading press reports:
Intel Corporation initially warned a handful of customers, including several Chinese technology firms, about security flaws within its processor chips, while at the same time not telling the U.S. government, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.
Security experts told the newspaper that the decision could have allowed Chinese tech companies to flag the vulnerabilities to Beijing, giving the Chinese government opportunity to exploit them.
Jake Williams, head of the security company Rendition Infosec and former National Security Agency (NSA) employee, told the Journal that it is a "near certainty" the Chinese government knew about the flaws from the Intel correspondence with Chinese tech companies, as Beijing keeps tabs on such communications.
The Journal reported that Alibaba Group, a top selling Chinese cloud-computing services company, was among the firms notified of the flaw early on.

I take the Bible quite literally. And when I read "In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God, and the Word WAS God.", I take that to mean that God is quite literally the energy, math, and physics that has ultimately manifests itself in me and all I observe.
The Bible literally doesn't say that, though. I literal interpretation is that God actually is a word. A figurative translation is that he's actually all that other stuff despite the Bible saying otherwise.

I translated "WORD" as "information-energy". Well, closest thing I could conceive of going to English.
