Intel offers olive branch of investment for growth

Intel Corp said on Wednesday that it will invest 120 million yuan ($19.3 million) to promote grass roots technology innovation in China amid deepening mistrust over information security between the United States and China.

Chief Executive Officer Brian Krzanich has sought to placate the Chinese authorities by pledging wider collaboration with local institutes and universities.

The moves came as the US added three major partners of Intel in the supercomputing sector to a technology embargo list.
