Intel apologizes over its statement on forced labor in Xinjiang

Intel apologized on Thursday after a letter in which the chip maker said it would avoid products and labor from Xinjiang set off an outcry on Chinese social media, making it the latest American company caught between the world's two largest economies.

The chip maker apologized to its Chinese customers, partners and the public in a Chinese-language statement on Weibo, the popular social media site. The company said that the letter, which had been sent to suppliers, was an effort at expressing its compliance with United States sanctions against Xinjiang, rather than a political stance.

Intel following in the footsteps of major US companies supporting genocide - Ford, IBM, Apple, and countless others.
