Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has criticized Intel for “self-censoring” after reports emerged that the company deleted references about China’s Xinjiang region from an open letter to suppliers posted on its website.
The letter, originally published in December 2021, asked suppliers not to source goods, services, or labor from Xinjiang, signaling concerns over potential forced labor abuses against Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities in the area.
