Trump calls for Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan’s resignation over China investment links
US President Donald Trump on Thursday demanded the immediate resignation of new Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, calling him “highly conflicted” due to his ties to Chinese firms and raising questions about plans to turn around the struggling American chip icon.
Reuters reported exclusively in April that Tan — himself or through venture funds he has founded or operates — invested at least $200 million in hundreds of Chinese advanced manufacturing and chip firms, some of which are linked to the Chinese military.
