Foreign countries are considered "restricted" by the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) [4]
for a variety of reasons; e.g., national security, foreign policy, terrorism, proliferation
activities, etc. Intel further divides restricted countries into three categories (Table 1): High
Performance Computing (HPC) Countries, Controlled Countries (CC), and Embargoed Countries.
Table 1: Intel's own categorized list of restricted countries

Note that even though Hong Kong is part of mainland China, export regulations identify Hong Kong as
an HPC country. Therefore, the China technology constraints are not applicable to Hong Kong
business activities.
The additional classification in Table 1 allows Intel security groups the flexibility to manage
risk and compliance more effectively.
