The company was under fire from the Chinese government and was told to 'respect facts and tell right from wrong.'
Intel Corp. issued an apology on Thursday after asking suppliers to avoid purchasing goods from the Xinjiang region of China.
In a letter to suppliers sent this month, Intel asked suppliers to abide by the current U.S. regulations and boycott goods being issued from the region. The Chinese government has been accused of detaining and abusing the region's Muslim Uyghur population for months. Intel plays a significant role in the country's technological development. The company has a chip factory in the northeast city of Dalian and a research facility in Beijing. Processor chips are the primary ones used to create the country's computers and smartphones, with silica often being produced in Xinjiang. Although China has attempted to make its own chip industry, it continues to rely on Intel's chips to manufacture goods.
Other companies including retailer H&M and shoe brand Nike have been targeted for criticism and calls for boycotts after expressing concern about Xinjiang or saying they would stop using materials produced there.
