Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) has written to Intel seeking information about the company’s new CEO, raising questions about CEO Tan Lip-Bu’s investments in Chinese firms with links to the People’s Liberation Army, the military wing of the Chinese Communist Party.

The tech giant has recently received billions in federal funding, including from a U.S. national security program.
