Tiandy Sanctioned By Commerce Department
Tiandy, one of the PRC's largest video surveillance manufacturers and an Intel partner, has been sanctioned by the US Commerce Department for human rights violations and enabling the procurement of "U.S.-origin items" for use by Iran's military.
This comes after IPVM exposed Tiandy's Uyghur tracking, "smart" tiger chairs, and Iran Revolutionary Guard deals.
In this post, IPVM examines this news and its impact.
