Apple and Amazon denied the report.

Chinese spy chips were allegedly used to gather intellectual property and trade secrets.

Tim Cook says, “There is no truth in their story about Apple.  They need to do the right thing and retract it.”

Andy Jassy (head of Amazon Web services) agreed with Cook and also called for a retraction from Bloomberg.

More concerns grow over Chinese tech spying and stealing trade secrets.

Australia blocked chinese carriers from building their 5G network.

The US Government is also calling for a US built 5G network that would be “free of the possibility of overseas interference.”
