This may be coming from a place of ignorance but what guarantees are there that there is not some kind of security flaw on a hardware level? I don't know what kind of audits or protections are there now but with Chinese suppliers in particular, I would be leery of potential issues. There was rumors/claims of certain server mobos being built with extra chips or exploits a couple years back.

As much gurantee as there is with other suppliers, none.

But random foreigners are of less interest to the chinese government than we are to our own governments.

On RAM? I'm not aware of any. I'm sure you could implement something, but I feel like it would have to be really, really specifically targeted to go unnoticed.
