Chinese Jedi strikes back! Micron banned sales in the Chinese market, foreign media: Will it be Apple next?

China has an old saying that "the other way is to give back to the other", in the old United States took the initiative to launch a chip war, and united Japan, South Korea and other countries to sanction mainland enterprises.

The mainland could only choose to accept the invitation and launched a network security review of Micron! According to a number of state media reports, China's Cybersecurity Review Office has determined that Micron will be banned from selling in the Chinese market due to its failure to pass the security review!

In other words, Micron will not have a market in China after that. Micron Technology, Inc. is a semiconductor company headquartered in Idaho, USA.

Founded in 1978, Micron's products cover a wide range of memory technologies, including dynamic random access memory (DRAM), flash memory, solid-state drives (SSDs), and other storage solutions.

These products are widely used in computers, mobile devices, data centers, consumer electronics, industrial controls, and automotive. As a global semiconductor company, Micron has manufacturing facilities, R&D centers, and sales offices around the world.

It's not polite to come and go! Earlier, the United States closed a Chinese consulate in the mainland, and of course we immediately closed a Chinese consulate in the United States, which is not the China of 100 years ago.

For well-known reasons, China started late in the semiconductor industry, the foundation is thin, it is not good to say, when the United States sanctioned Huawei, although Huawei at that time was very promising, but under multiple rounds of US sanctions.

Huawei's domestic and foreign markets are divided by peers. In the same way, leaving Micron, we have other options.

China's Yangtze River Storage and Changxin Storage two companies have basically achieved domestic substitution after unremitting efforts, and even recently due to the price reduction of SSDs stored by the Yangtze River, the entire SSD market is following the price reduction.

Really knocked the price down! So we can basically conclude that the next days of Micron should be extremely sad. Now the trade war between China and the United States is still intensifying. Many foreign media have said: Will it be Apple and Qualcomm next?

At present, in addition to Huawei's Kirin chip in the mainland, it is a chip produced by TSMC in Taiwan Province. Now that Kirin has become a swan song, OPPO has recently announced that it has abandoned its self-developed chips.

This means that the domestic mobile phone industry has suffered another major setback on the road to self-developed chips. I personally feel that the next one may be so-and-so, but it will never be Apple and Qualcomm.

But in the end, it is not impossible. Previously, Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said that many Chinese said that if the United States really banned WeChat, then we can also use the Apple mobile phone. Of course, this can be said to be the last moment.

When Apple first entered China, it had only a handful of employees. Today, Apple provides manufacturing, retail, technical support, hardware and software development, and has created five million jobs in China.

Through China's supply chain, procurement, and investment, Apple has brought more than 3 million jobs, and iOS's App Store ecosystem has supported more than 1.8 million jobs.

Since the launch of the App Store, developers in Greater China have also earned more than 110 billion RMB. Not to mention the payment of taxes and apple orders, which have established a solid foundation for the mainland industrial chain.

And in the current mobile phone processor, Qualcomm and Apple account for a high proportion of processing, which is a good win-win situation. At present, the most important thing is independent development, and avoid the phenomenon of "stuck neck" in some key technical fields.

At the beginning, the United States did not let us join Tiangong, the American Aviation Administration did not allow China to land on the moon, and we insisted on independent innovation to get rid of the "stuck neck" of the United States.

Countering U.S. companies is just one of the means to accelerate the autonomy of China's semiconductor industry and eventually completely get rid of its dependence on the West, a reality that the West must face now.
