ADI's Hikvision Sales An "Appalling Pursuit of Short Term Profit", Declares Congressional Chair
The Chair of the Congressional-Executive China Commission (CECC) criticized ADI following ADI declaring it is "stronger together" with NDAA banned and sanctioned Hikvision.
Less than four months ago, the CECC sent a letter to ADI scrutinizing their business with Dahua and Hikvision.
In this report, we examine the Congressman's statement to IPVM, federal concern with ADI's Hikvision sales, and the risks for the company.
