Computers: nonsense. The computational capabilities they got from the US could just have easily been obtained abroad. It had negligible or no impact on China's high-tech military development. The only impact was on US computer manufacturers who were restricted while their foreign competitors were not.

<<Doing trade with China ... >> was a bipartisan affair. QED.

<<You are simply ruling out the possibility of the Democrats knowing the source of the money because you think that the chance of a quid pro quo is obscene.>>
No, I rule it out simply because there is no evidence that they knew anything about the source of funds. Like the GOP (who have a more efficient apparatus, granted), they didn't have time to care. The giant leap of smear to alleging a quid pro quo is separate, and is characteristic GOP overreaching slur. And disgusting. Not even those who launch that one believe it. You should know better. Heck, you do know better ...
