China has counterattacked this past May 22 in the technological war between the two great powers prohibiting the purchase of American chips from the company micron Technology to key operators of its infrastructure. It has stated that the manufacturer's products pose "serious risks to network security."
El US Department of CommerceThe company strongly opposed the measure, declaring it "unfounded." The measure comes after a seven-week investigation into Micron by the European Commission. China Cyberspace Administration. It is evident that this investigation was initiated in retaliation for US efforts to stop access to China to key technology.
As we reported last October, Washington introduced extensive controls on chip exports and has since obtained the collaboration of the Netherlands and Japan to restrict Chinese access to cutting-edge technology. Paradoxically, the measure arrives just when the American president During his visit to Japan for the G7 meeting, focused among other things on coordinating the containment of China in the Pacific, he declared that a “thaw” in relations between Beijing and Washington was imminent. However, the truth is that the same summit statement has provoked an angry response from Beijing, which summoned Japan's ambassador to China in protest. China also considers that the hostile tone of the communiqué of the G7 showed the success of the US and Japan in persuading European countries such as Germany and France to take a stronger stance against China and would prevent improved cooperation with the Western bloc.
