The Chinese government has ordered local operators of critical information infrastructure to stop purchasing products from Micron Technology Inc, citing major security risks without providing any details. The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) stated that Micron failed a security review they launched after the United States imposed sweeping restrictions on access to chipmaking technology to impede China’s technological and military progress. Japan also implemented export restrictions on 23 semiconductor manufacturing equipment, which China condemned for “weaponizing trade and tech issues and destabilizing the global industrial and supply chains.” The CAC found a “relatively serious potential network” that could threaten China’s key information infrastructure supply chain and national security, although the agency did not outline the identified risks nor were the Micron products affected identified. While existing Micron products did not need to be removed, the CAC stated that all companies must abide by Chinese laws and regulations to access the Chinese market. The G-7 leaders criticized China for its “militarisation activities” in the South China Sea and human rights abuses in Tibet and Xinjiang and pledged to reduce their “excessive dependencies” in critical supply chains.
