Intel faces problems in China

In a statement late Wednesday, the China Cyber ​​Security Association (CSAC) listed alleged vulnerabilities in Intel processor chips, saying the flaws in product quality and security management showed an “irresponsible attitude toward its customers.”

The association also accused Intel of using remote management features to spy on users and surreptitiously install backdoors, as well as ignoring flaws reported by users.

Daniel Newman, CEO of The Futurum Group, noted that the security review comes amid heightened tensions between China and the United States over control of chips and leadership in artificial intelligence.

In its statement, the CSAC noted that Intel was also one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Biden administration’s “CHIP Act,” which the organization said had unreasonably excluded and suppressed the Chinese semiconductor industry.
