content: Sabotage and supply chain tampering have been a growing effort by China not to mention their level of infiltration at Western companies.  Their tactics are wide sweeping and their system is huge in this area.  This is a great example you posted and "smells" a lot like what just happened.  This tactic seems to take a specific transition pattern that includes enticement and market manipulation tactics as well.  Take for instance Didi and Uber.
