Micron Technology, headquartered in Idaho, is the largest memory manufacturer in the United States. While the Chinese market accounts for about 10 percent of Micron’s annual revenue, the majority of companies importing Micron products into China are manufacturers producing devices for sale in other regions. The ban, as reported by The Wall Street Journal, does not apply to non-Chinese firms operating in China. Micron has responded to the ban, stating, “We are evaluating the conclusion and assessing our next steps. We look forward to continuing to engage in discussions with Chinese authorities.” However, the CAC has not provided specifics on which Micron products would be affected by the ban or detailed the security concerns it has with the company’s chips.
