Micron Technology—China banned Micron products from critical infrastructure, citing national security risks
In May 2023, China's Cyberspace Administration concluded a cybersecurity review and banned Micron products from being used in critical national infrastructure, citing 'serious network security risks.' The ban was widely seen as retaliation for US chip export controls on China. Micron estimated the ban could reduce its total revenue by mid-single-digit percentages.
