Three chipmaking companies--one in the U.S. and two in South Korea--are being investigated simultaneously by the Chinese government.
Micron Technology, the largest American chipmaker; Samsung Electronics; and SK Hynix, the world’s second-largest memory chipmaker, are being investigated by China’s Anti-monopoly Bureau of State Administration for Market Regulation, Chinese news site Jiwei Net reported on June 1. Micron has since confirmed that the Chinese regulators visited its sales office on May 31 for information, according to Bloomberg.
