Intel just got caught red-handed working with Chinese companies that help the Communist regime spy on its own people. The American chip giant has been quietly partnering with surveillance firms that our government sanctioned for helping China torture and oppress the Uyghur people. This happened right before President Trump announced the U.S. would take a 10 percent stake in Intel.
Intel worked with three major Chinese surveillance companies that are on America’s blacklist. Uniview, Hikvision, and Cloudwalk all make spy cameras and facial recognition systems for the Chinese government. These companies help Beijing track, monitor, and control millions of innocent people every single day.
The Chinese Communist Party uses this technology to commit terrible human rights abuses. They put cameras everywhere to watch Uyghurs and other minorities in concentration camps. The surveillance systems help China identify, arrest, and torture people just for being different. Our government sanctioned these companies because they enable this evil behavior.
Intel tried to defend itself with typical corporate double-talk about following laws and being responsible. The company claims it follows international guidelines and maintains ethical business practices. But actions speak louder than words, and Intel chose profits over principles. Working with companies that help genocide happen is never acceptable.
This partnership puts American national security at serious risk. Intel makes the computer chips that power our military, hospitals, and critical infrastructure. When Intel works with Chinese spy companies, it gives our enemies access to American technology. China could use this relationship to steal our secrets or attack our systems.
Every dollar Intel made from these partnerships helped fund China’s war machine. The Chinese government uses surveillance technology to prepare for war against America and our allies. Intel essentially helped our biggest enemy get stronger while making American families less safe. This is exactly the kind of globalist thinking that puts foreign interests above American workers.
President Trump took swift action by having our government buy a stake in Intel. This gives America more control over this critical company and its dangerous partnerships. The government investment shows we will not let American companies sell out to our enemies. We need more oversight of tech giants who put profits before patriotism.
Intel must immediately end all partnerships with sanctioned Chinese companies. American taxpayers deserve to know their money is not funding companies that work with human rights abusers. Congress should investigate how many other tech companies are secretly helping China’s surveillance state. We cannot let Silicon Valley continue betraying American values for Chinese cash.
