BEIJING :China's cyberspace regulator said on Sunday that products made by U.S. memory chip manufacturer Micron Technology had failed its network security review and that it would bar operators of key infrastructure from procuring from the firm.
Operators of critical information infrastructure will be required to stop procuring from Micron, the CAC added. According to China's broad definition of critical information infrastructure, this could include sectors ranging from transport to finance. The review and decision on Micron comes amid a spat over chip technology between Washington and Beijing, during which the U.S. has imposed a series of export controls on chipmaking technology to China and blacklisted Chinese firms, including Micron rival Yangtze Memory Technologies Co Ltd.Micron derives around 10 per cent of its revenue from China, but it is not clear if the decision affects the company's sales to non-Chinese customers in the country.
