China says a major U.S. chipmaker -- Micron Technology -- failed a review and pose a national security risk.
中国有关部门于日前表示,美国主要芯片制造商美光科技的产品未能通过审查,对国家安全构成威胁。
It announced on Sunday that it was banning them from being used in key infrastructure projects.
中方宣布,将禁止在关键基础设施项目中使用美光科技的产品。
It follows a weeks-long review into Micron by China's cyberspace regulator, and could affect everything from transport to telecoms to finance.
此前,中国网络空间监管机构对美光科技进行了长达数周的审查,其安全问题可能影响从交通、电信到金融的方方面面。
In a statement, the CAC said it had concluded that Micron QUOTE: "posed significant security risks to China's critical information infrastructure supply chain".
在一份声明中,国家互联网信息办公室表示,已经得出结论,即美光产品“对中国关键信息基础设施供应链构成重大安全风险”。
The CAC did not provide details on what risks it had found nor what Micron products would be affected.
不过国家互联网信息办公室并没有详细说明发现了哪些风险,也没有说明美光的哪些产品将受到影响。
Micron gets around 10% of its revenue from China, but it is not clear if the company's sales to non-Chinese customers in the country will be affected.
美光科技约10%的收入来自中国,但目前尚不清楚这一决定是否会影响到该公司在中国对非中国客户的销售。
In its own statement, Micron said it had received the CAC's notice and it looks "forward to continuing to engage in discussions with Chinese authorities."
美光科技在自己的声明中表示,已收到国家互联网信息办公室的有关通知,并期待“继续与中国有关部门进行讨论”。
The news helped bump up stocks of Micron's rivals, like South Korea's Samsung, which are seen as benefitting if mainland firms seek memory chips elsewhere.
这一消息提振了包括韩国三星在内的美光竞争对手的估价,如果中国内地企业在其他地方寻找存储芯片,这些公司将从中受益。
