Let them steal a chip design with a built in flaw such that it can be
remotely commanded to cause major system failure. Essentially one could
get the Red Chinese to construct an airplane with a built in bomb.

The danger with that one is that our own aeroplanes have the save flaw.

Not if done right. Letting the bad guys assume you use it doesn't
mean you have to actually do so. Think of the phantom army Patton ran
prior to Overlord. The Nazis assumed it existed.
