Chinese Chipmaker CXMT Sues Pentagon Over Military Company Designation
Chinese memory chipmaker ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) has filed a lawsuit against the US Pentagon to challenge its designation as a 'Chinese military company,' a label the company denies, stating its products are for civilian use. The designation, made under the Biden administration and retained by the Trump administration, restricts CXMT's business opportunities and harms its reputation. Meanwhile, CXMT's revenue surged nearly tenfold in the first half of the year, driven by strong demand for DRAM chips amid a global memory shortage.
