edition.cnn.com October 17, 2024, 03:00 AM UTC

Summary: The Cybersecurity Association of China (CSAC) has called for a security review of Intel products sold in China, claiming the company poses a risk to national security. This follows accusations that Intel has harmed China's interests.

CSAC's statement could lead to action from China's Cyberspace Administration, similar to last year's ban on Micron Technology products. Intel's shares fell 1.5% amid broader tech market declines.

The CSAC alleges vulnerabilities in Intel chips, including those used for AI, and claims they may contain backdoors linked to the U.S. National Security Agency. A ban on Intel could further limit AI chip supplies in China.
