The US reacted to a decision of China on Monday telling operators of ‘critical information infrastructure’ to stop buying Micron products. AFP PHOTOWASHINGTON, D.C.: The United States on Monday criticized China for restricting sales of chips from American giant Micron, the latest move in a feud between the two powers on semiconductors. "We have very serious concerns with the reports that the PRC (People's Republic of China) has restricted the sale of Micron chips to certain domestic industries," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said. Micron's products "have relatively serious potential network security issues, which pose a major security risk to China's critical information infrastructure supply chain and affect China's national security," the cybersecurity administration said in a statement. The United States last year imposed sweeping restrictions on China's access to high-end chips, citing national security concerns.
