News Intel responds to China's call for an investigation into chip failures and potential backdoors — chipmaker says it ‘always prioritized product safe...

Is this an actual concern about Intel's products? Or a geopolitical move designed to rattle the White House weeks before a presidential election?

Probably a mix of actual security concerns and geopolitical trade wars. Election has much bigger stakes than Intel.

However ironic it may seem, China does have reasons to be worried about threats to national security from US suppliers, in the form of risking surveillance and foreign espionage. For similar reasons the US chose to avoid Huawei.

This is more posturing by the Communist China Government. They throw out random unfounded accusations to influence the weak minded.

They are trash talking Intel so they can promote their domestic CPUs. There are no back doors in Intel CPUs. It looks more like some Oligarchs looking for a kickback.

The original "report" was even saying Intel was taking an unfavorable stance (from the CCP POV) in Uyghur issues.
