The US is considering banning Chinese-made TP-Link routers due to security concerns, with President-elect Donald Trump potentially introducing a ban as early as next year. The move comes amid growing tensions between the two countries over intellectual property and cyber security. While TP-Link claims its products meet industry standards, a recent Microsoft analysis found that a Chinese hacking entity had access to compromised TP-Link routers. The company has taken steps to address vulnerabilities, but the Justice Department is investigating whether selling these devices at below-cost prices violates US law.
