Why China is blacklisting US chipmaker Micron for some domestic purchases | DW News

Western nations vow they’re only “de-risking” their economies from China and not “decoupling” -- whatever that means.
We speak with George Magnus at Oxford University’s China Centre about Micron, the growing trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies and how EU firms are being pulled from both sides.

DW: America can, China can't.
CN: Why?
DW: America is Germany's father

China is helping US to expedite the de-risking. The US should say thank you and not scolding China instead.

[nsebast]

US: You cannot buy our chips!
China: We will not buy your chips.
US: You cant do that!

[ftu]

US: we are de-risking, not de-coupling with China.
China: Allow me to help out.

[jz]

Hard to swollow but it's fair for the chinese to do this since the U.S did the same to their tech companies.

[zhengpinghu]

WHY? Because US has blacklisted more than 600 Chinese companies.

[jjola]

America: What? You dare to punish me, no, no, only I can punish others, you must be mistaken
China: Yes, I sanctioned you with your standards.
United States: No, I have new standards - China's regulatory methods are opaque and undisclosed
🤣

The USA side should be pleased with the move because the US has already restricted chip export to China for several years.

[dongdong]

US started doing this to China companies for years, which make this “tit for tat” reasonable enough.

[yechen]

It was five years ago that US picked ZTE and Huawei and banned them as much as they could. There was much speculation at the time China would retaliate on US companies like Apple and Tesla, but they never did.

Now the Chinese decide that their memory chip manufacturing is strong enough so that they can ban Micron. What we see are well-calculated steps that China take to both grow their own chip manufacturing and hit back when they see fit. China see companies like Apple and Tesla as their friends (for the time being) and treat them differently.

China buying US chips.
US: National security risk, ban!
China stop buying US chips.
US: No China you can't do that!
Huawei say hello. ❤ 😂

[MiaHD]

Finally, China learned some thing from United States called “ national security”😂😂

[danwelterweight]

No cheap Russian gas and no access to the Chinese market will be the ultimate suicide for the German economy.

[eliso]

US banned Huawei for same reason, so why China can't do the same? China has national security concern too.

[washington]

Germany is also trying to de-risk with China, China should help Germany to speed this process, such as kicking BBA out of the Chinese market

[Andromeda]

China is helping the US with it's de-risking .😂😂😂😂

[chillxxx]

China is helping US firms do what they don’t have the will to do themselves.

[htaukkyanmyo]

China should also ban all German cars that have Micron chips.

[flyingnan]

US: Though I made thousands of sanctions to you, how dare you to make one sanction to me!

[Whoyouare-zlro]

US ban Huawei, west world: we echo. China ban micro, west world: coercion!
