China Calls for Intel Product Security Review Amid Alleged Risks

The Cybersecurity Association of China claims Intel chips pose national security threats, prompting potential regulatory scrutiny.

Chinese industry group CSAC alleges Intel chips have security vulnerabilities and high failure rates, potentially threatening national security.
CSAC accuses Intel of embedding NSA backdoors in its CPUs, a claim Intel strongly refutes, emphasizing its commitment to product safety.
Intel's products account for over a quarter of its revenue from China, making the potential review a significant threat to its financial stability.
The Cyberspace Administration of China could initiate a security review, similar to past actions against US tech firms like Micron.
Amid rising US-China tensions, the allegations against Intel may be part of broader geopolitical strategies impacting the tech industry.
