Two US House of Representatives members have called on the US Department of Commerce to investigate Chinese-made Wi-Fi routers deployed in the US over hacking and espionage concerns. John Moolenaar (R-MI), chairman of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, and Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), a ranking member of the same group, warned in an August 15 public statement of the “growing risk posed by Chinese Wi-Fi routers in the United States manufactured by TP-Link Technologies.” TP-Link is a Chinese company and the world’s largest provider of Wi-Fi products, selling over 160 million products annually to more than 170 countries.
