China is turning the tables: The cyber security authority CAC justified its warning against the products of the US chip manufacturer Micron with “significant security risks for our critical information infrastructure supply chain”. There is even talk of a threat to national security in Beijing. It’s a language similar to that used by US authorities when they warn about Chinese technology from Tiktok and Huawei, for example. And it is Beijing’s harshest reaction to date to the export restrictions for semiconductors that Washington issued last October. It means a new level of escalation in the trade conflict between the two world powers, even if the direct impact of the Micron case on China’s chip supply should be limited.
