Ouch, as it would be quite easy to think that you are "safe" if you spin your own processor from scratch and run it on an FPGA.
Who's to say that manufacturing in China means the backdoor was injected by China? I would have thought the US is just as likely a source, given that the design came from there. Surely the US government would love having access to FPGAs in foreign systems?
The cynic in me says that Cambridge needs to keep poking, as they might find two backdoors: one inserted by the US, the other by China.
