U.S. mulls ban on Chinese-made TP-Link routers over security concerns - eviltoast

Summary

In October, Microsoft published an analysis which found that a Chinese hacking entity had access to a trove of compromised TP-Link routers.

The Justice Department is also investigating whether TP-Link’s low pricing violates U.S. antitrust laws.

TP-Link denies selling below cost and claims its security practices meet U.S. standards.

The potential ban highlights growing scrutiny of Chinese tech products used widely in homes, businesses, and even U.S. federal agencies.

    Isn’t made in Asia, maybe. A router could easily be manufactured in Taiwan or Korea. There is a ton of tech manufacturing in both countries.
