Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) sent a letter to the Intel Corporation’s Board of Directors Chairman Frank Yeary expressing concern over Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan’s investments and ties to semiconductor firms that are reportedly linked to the Chinese Communist Party and the People’s Liberation Army. Prior to his role at Intel Mr. Tan was CEO of Cadence Design Systems, which recently pleaded guilty to illegally selling export-controlled American technologies to entities connected to the Chinese military.
