Sorry but you are blurring the lines between an actual malicious attack and a badly designed driver.
The first is what the original claim was, screaming "Russians!" and "Chinese!" at the same time with poor technical understa ding.
The second is what actually happened. It's no worse than inserting a CD-ROM and installing a driver. As bad as that is, and to be criticised in its own right, it's qualitatively different from the first.
Let's not muddy the waters by conflating the two and make the (IMO legitimate) criticism of one of them wade into a conspiracy theory about the other.
Didn’t china make the news recently because they hacked a handful of huge American telcos and cell providers?
Or the balloon that was hanging out for a while, that was a thing.
