TP-Link, a prominent US router manufacturer with historical ties to China, faces a potential ban due to security concerns and ongoing investigations. Accusations revolve around the possibility of Chinese state-sponsored hackers compromising routers, and the company's obligation under Chinese law to provide sensitive information. This controversy has raised questions about TP-Link’s prices and market dominance, with fears that it might reflect a strategy to unfairly influence the US market. The company rebukes these concerns, highlighting its restructuring efforts, diverse manufacturing locations, and transparency with US investigators.
