BEIJING: US semiconductor giant Micron has failed a national security review, China's cybersecurity watchdog said on Sunday , telling operators of"critical information infrastructure" to stop buying its products.
Micron's products"have relatively serious potential network security issues, which pose a major security risk to China's critical information infrastructure supply chain and affect China's national security", the cybersecurity administration said in a statement.China's broad definition of critical information infrastructure includes sectors ranging from transport to healthcare.
But a large portion of Micron products sold in the country were bought by foreign manufacturers, analysts had said earlier, and it was not clear if the cybersecurity watchdog's decision affects sales to foreign buyers. Washington also blacklisted Chinese firms, including Micron rival Yangtze Memory Technologies Co Ltd.
Beijing has slammed the moves as"US bullying tactics" and accused Washington of"technological terrorism", vowing that such controls will only strengthen its resolve to achieve self-reliance in the sector.
