China Investigating Memory Chipmakers
Jun 4, 2018, 8:38 AM by Eric M. Zeman
The Chinese government has launched an investigation into several U.S. and Korean chipmakers, according to the Wall Street Journal. It has visited the offices of U.S.-based Micron Technology, as well as Korea's Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. The matter under investigation has not yet been disclosed by the Chinese authorities. All three firms make DRAM modules, which are used in electronic devices such as phones. DRAM prices have risen in recent years, which has had the effect of making certain China-made devices more expensive. Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix confirmed that their offices were visited by authorities, but did not otherwise comment on the matter.
