In short:
- US authorities are investigating whether TP-Link, a Chinese company that dominates the US home and small business router market, is a national security risk because of its alleged links to cyberattacks. The company, which supplies internet routers to federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, is under investigation by several government agencies, including Commerce, Defense and Justice.
- A ban on TP-Link devices in the US is being considered for next year. The issue may be addressed by the incoming Trump administration, which has signaled a tough stance on China.
