Background
The U.S. Department of Commerce said on Oct. 30 that it had put Chinese DRAM manufacturer Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Co. on a list of entities that cannot purchase components, software and technology good from U.S. firms.
U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross stated in the release:
“When a foreign company engages in activity contrary to our national security interests, we will take strong action to protect our national security. Placing Jinhua on the Entity List will limit its ability to threaten the supply chain for essential components in our military systems.”
