China Bans Micron Chips in Wake of Cybersecurity Review

Micron - China

An official statement published by the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) says that operators of critical information infrastructure "should stop purchasing Micron products." The decree, spotted by Wen-Yee Lee, comes after a network security review of Micron's products sold in China.

Apparently, the Chinese government security review found that "Micron's products have relatively serious potential network security issues, which pose a major security risk to my country's critical information infrastructure supply chain." However, no detail of any specific security risks presented by the usage of Micron products is given. As a matter of "national security," we assume the Micron products ban will be implemented swiftly and thoroughly.
