The Taiwanese newspaper that broke this story said the drives were manufactured in Thailand, but Chinese subcontractors were the prime suspects.

Looking for specific letter I remember reading.....
So many letters from Marx to Engles, and Engles to Marx.
Anyways, in one of the letters, Marx was complaining to Engles about Sherman’s march to the sea and how he is losing money from his cotton speculation.
Both Marx and Engles were cheerleading the South, because they were personally involved in the entire Cotton manufacturing process.
