What does the Chinese government want from people at Trump’s playground? Compromising behavior that could be used for blackmail? Installation of files on computers most likely just left lying around given Trump’s attitude toward security there? Once installed, corrupting files could spread throughout the government, perhaps giving China access to sensitive information.

Or was the malware totally irrelevant and she was there to make contact with Kushner or Ivanka or someone else close to Trump to set up under-the-table business deals that China wants to use to get Trump to end the trade war? We all know that Trump would sell his mother for a million dollar payoff.
