China-based manufacturers of memory modules and solid-state drives may have an unexpected advantage over their overseas peers. That advantage could be China's government guidance for domestic memory makers to ship more chips to local makers of DRAM modules, SSDs, PCs, and smartphones to support these industries, said Nelson Duann, a senior vice president of Silicon Motion, in an interview with Tom's Hardware.
"China has domestic NAND and DRAM makers, and their strategy is not the same as that of foreign memory suppliers," Duann told us during the interview. "Because they receive government support, they also have a responsibility to help maintain the health of the local market."
