The Chinese Association insists on an information security audit of all chips supplied to the country.
Intel has denied accusations of backdoors in its chips made by the Chinese Cybersecurity Association (CSAC). The Chinese side has previously claimed that since 2008, Intel has been injecting backdoors into its processors, allegedly at the behest of the US National Security Agency (NSA).
The CSAC stated that Intel's products contain exploitable vulnerabilities and have a high failure rate. According to the association, this demonstrates Intel's irresponsible attitude towards customers.
The association also called for an information security audit of Intel chips in China, citing the importance of protecting national security and consumer rights. A significant portion of Intel's revenue comes from the Chinese market, which reinforces the significance of these accusations.
Intel responded to the accusations through its WeChat account. The company stressed that as an international corporation with nearly 40 years of experience in China, it complies with local laws and puts both product safety and quality first. Intel also said it was ready to maintain contact with the relevant departments to clarify the situation.
These accusations come amid growing tensions between the United States and China in the field of cybersecurity. Earlier, the American side accused Chinese hackers of attacks on US critical infrastructure, and Washington's sanctions limited the export of advanced chips to China in order to contain Beijing's military potential.
