As we all know, Chinese technology companies, especially chip-related companies, have encountered successive US sanctions and suppression in the past few years, and are in a very difficult situation. In order to stop the rapid development of China's technology industry, the United States has used the advantages of chip technology, such as chip manufacturing equipment, memory chips, chip design software, etc., to launch an "encirclement and suppression" operation against Chinese enterprises, and more than 1,000 Chinese enterprises have been pulled into the "entity list", and their development has been hindered.
When dealing with such problems, China has always advocated the attitude of "not causing trouble and not being afraid of it", and when investigating American companies, it was found that Micron, the American chip giant, has "security problems", and because of this, important departments and institutions in China prohibit the use of Micron memory chips. As one of the hegemons in the field of memory chips, will it have an impact on Chinese enterprises if they no longer use Micron memory chips?
In fact, before this incident, China's science and technology companies have realized the danger of memory chips being monopolized, and accelerated the research and development of memory chips.
Many people may have heard that the iPhone15 series was rumored to use the chip of Yangtze River Storage, but it was warned by the United States, which shows that the strength of domestic memory chips has received international attention, and the United States has begun to worry! Based on this, Micron was banned by China on the one hand, and on the other hand, it imposed sanctions on Chinese companies!
Specifically, in order to circumvent the restrictions of the US ban, Fujian Jinhua adopted a "cooperation model", building its own factory, and UMC was entrusted with the development of DRAM-related technology. But this move was still targeted by the United States, and UMC was charged with "stealing technology". Subsequently, Fujian Jinhua was not able to get out of the way, and was also prosecuted for "UMC stealing technology and delivering it to Fujian Jinhua".
In order to get out as soon as possible, UMC paid a fine of $60 million and reached a settlement with Micron, while Fujian Jinhua did not compromise. In order to be able to "hammer" this matter as soon as possible, Micron has continued to "blow the wind in the ears" to the United States in the past few years. It is precisely because of these "small actions" of Micron that the Cyberspace Administration of China will conduct a security investigation on Micron, and the result is also expected.
But there is a saying that "the body is not afraid of the shadow", after 5 years of games, Chinese companies have finally been cleared! Recently, the U.S. court announced the final result of this indictment, not guilty! Fujian Jinhua does not steal technology, obviously, this is all Micron to crack down on the operation of Chinese enterprises!
You must know that more than 25% of Micron's revenue comes from the Chinese market, and after the rise of Chinese companies such as Fujian Jinhua and Yangtze River Storage, their share is bound to be squeezed. But it is clear that Micron has gone crooked at the beginning, there is competition in any industry, and if you want to get ahead, you must improve your technical strength. But Micron is counting on suppressing competitors and getting a chance to get out of the circle, and this kind of "hegemonic" behavior is destined to not go far!
Of course, the dust of this matter is also of great significance to the development of China's chip industry, which not only proves the fact that China's chip strength has improved, but also proves the legal and compliant operation and fair competition of Chinese enterprises, and also tears off the "fig leaf" of American companies! It is hoped that Chinese enterprises can make persistent efforts, adhere to independent research and development, and strive to break the monopoly of Meixin technology as soon as possible!
