(THE NATIONAL.SCOT) Intel apologised on Thursday for asking suppliers to avoid sourcing goods from the Chinese province of Xinjiang after the world’s biggest chipmaker joined other foreign brands in facing the fury of state media over complaints of abuses by the ruling Communist Party in the mostly muslim region.
Intel’s request was “arrogant and vicious,” said the Global Times, a newspaper published by China’s ruling party.
The reference to Xinjiang in a letter to suppliers was aimed at complying with US regulations, Intel said on its social media account.
