US chipmaker Micron may shut shop in China two years after it settled ban

Micron is reportedly planning to stop supplying server chips to data centers in China after the company failed to recover from a 2023 government ban on its products in critical Chinese infrastructure, a report has said. Micron was the first US chipmaker targeted by Beijing in a move seen as retaliatory for Washington’s restrictions aimed at impeding China’s semiconductor industry progress.

Citing two people briefed on the decision, news agency Reuters reported that Micron will continue to sell to two Chinese customers with data centre operations outside China, including laptop maker Lenovo.
