Micron Technology: China probes US chip maker for cybersecurity risks as tech tension escalates | CNN Business

so china is hitting back at us with this probe... i'm not surprised tbh. we have been trying to curb their tech influence for a while now . micron is just a symptom of the bigger issue here - china's push for global dominance in tech. but i do think it's interesting that they're doing it through cybersecurity probes rather than, say, a full-on trade war .

anyway, this move could have some big implications for us and our allies... if china starts to target our companies' products like this, it could disrupt the entire global supply chain. and let's not forget micron's 10% of revenue coming from china - that's a pretty big risk there .

i'm also wondering how this is going to play out in terms of national security... if china's just going to use cyber threats as a way to get what they want, we need to be careful about how we respond to this .

idk about these new "restrictions" on china...like whats next? are we gonna start scrutinizin every single product that comes out of asia? it just seems like a big ol' trade war to me, but with tech as the battleground...and i'm all for security and all, but can't we just have an open discussion about this instead of throwing stones and expecting china to cave?

this china thing is getting crazy I mean, micron gets hit and now other countries are like oh no we gotta protect ourselves too i dont blame them really but it feels like its all just a big game of tech warfare what if it spills over into other areas like finance or trade? that would be a disaster anyway, micron should be prepared for this and have contingency plans in place

"An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind." We're seeing a classic case of tit-for-tat in the US-China tech war, with neither side willing to back down. The real winners here? Who knows? But one thing's for sure: the global semiconductor industry is going to be severely impacted by this escalating trade war.
