In the context of the Sino-US technology war, Micron, a well-known memory chip giant in the United States, was subject to a security review in the mainland market in the first half of this year, and the result was not approved. As a result of this review, some of Micron's products are facing a ban, and companies in many countries have also announced that they will stop buying Micron's chip products. In order to salvage the situation, the president of Micron personally visited China to seek cooperation, but received no response. Despite this, the United States has not "turned off" because of this, and U.S. Secretary of Commerce Raimondo once again asked for fair treatment of U.S. chip companies.
Micron, as the memory chip giant in the United States, plays an important role in the Sino-US technology war. However, in the context of the escalation of friction between the United States and China, the U.S. blockade policy on China's 7-14nm process has had a direct impact on Micron. Micron has lobbied Congress many times to actively promote the implementation of the lockdown policy, but it has also triggered a strong counterattack from the Chinese side. The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) announced a cybersecurity review of the U.S. chip giant and banned some of Micron's products. The move led to a significant drop in Micron's revenue, further exacerbating anxiety in the United States.
Although for China, Micron's review has ended and the results have been announced, the American side is not satisfied. Among them, the issue of "data security" alleged by China is the main reason for the dissatisfaction of the United States. Micron is not the only U.S. tech giant that has violated data security, and many other U.S. giants will be implicated if further investigation continues. This is undoubtedly a sensitive entanglement of interests for Biden and may cause even greater trouble.
Data security is becoming more and more important in today's technological development. Especially for international data exchange and information transmission, data security has become particularly crucial. Micron's failure to pass the review due to alleged data security issues has sparked global concern. However, Micron is not the only U.S. tech company with data security issues. Many other well-known U.S. tech giants have also been suspected of violating users' data security. These facts have raised questions about the entire U.S. tech industry and affirmed China's determination to safeguard its own data security.
In the face of US dissatisfaction, China has shown a very resolute attitude. At the end of March this year, the Cyberspace Administration of China announced the implementation of a cybersecurity review of the American chip giant and a ban on the sale of some Micron products. This move resulted in a significant drop in Micron's revenue, which fell 52% year-over-year in the second quarter of fiscal 20236%。In order to salvage the situation, Micron announced an investment of 4.3 billion yuan to upgrade and expand the Xi'an packaging and testing plant, and invited Micron's president and CEO to visit China to seek cooperation. However, China has been determined to achieve independent research and development and production of chips, and there is no point in Micron's compromise.
China's development in the field of science and technology is growing day by day, and chip manufacturing is an important part of it. China** has put forward the goal of independent research and development of chips, and has taken a series of measures to achieve this goal. China has taken decisive measures to sanction Micron's violations and announced the results of its review of violations of relevant regulations. This is not only the handling of Micron's case, but also a manifestation of China's efforts to maintain its own technological security and data security. China no longer relies on foreign chips**, but has increased support and investment in the local chip industry.
Micron's failure to pass China's security review has become another victim in the U.S.-China tech war. The announcement of the results of the review has aroused dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction in the United States, but the resolute attitude and determination shown by the Chinese side have undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm for the development of China's science and technology industry. The issue of data security has become a pain point in the scientific and technological cooperation between China and the United States, which involves the interests of the two countries and international security issues. China's firm stance and actions have won it recognition and respect from the international community, and demonstrate the continuous improvement of China's scientific and technological strength. For the future, China needs to pay more attention to independent research and development and independent innovation, and improve the ability of core technologies to be independent and controllable, so as to achieve the long-term development of science and technology. At the same time, scientific and technological cooperation between China and the United States also needs to be carried out on the basis of equality and mutual benefit to achieve the goal of common development and win-win results.
