American chip maker says it is suspending its memory chips to Huawei

US memory chip maker Micron Technology has officially issued a statement announcing the suspension of its memory chips to Huawei. This is in compliance with the trade ban imposed on the Chinese company by the US government.
In the statement, Micron pointed out that a US company with global business, Micron respects and abides by all laws and regulations of the United States and the countries in which it operates, and has suspended supply to Huawei to comply with US government regulations. In addition, Micron also sent a letter requesting that the major module manufacturers cooperate, noting that it is not allowed to directly or indirectly supply related modules such as memory cards or solid-state drives using Micron memory chips to Huawei and its related companies. However, the ban seems to hurt Micron more than Huawei. According to Micron's financial report, the first half of 2019, 13% of the company's revenue came from Huawei. On the other hand, data from Bloomberg listed the top 10 semiconductor suppliers for Huawei to be Foxconn, BYD, TSMC, OuFeiguang, FIH Mobile, Flextronics, SK Hynix, Broadcom, Qualcomm and Universe. There is only one memory chip manufacturer, that is SK Hynix, ranked seventh. In other words, Huawei has other options apart from Micron. G. C.
