China fails Micron's products in security review, bars some purchases

BEIJING, May 21 (Reuters) - China's cyberspace regulator said on Sunday that products made by U.S. memory chip manufacturer Micron Technology (MU.O) had failed its network security review and that it would bar operators of key infrastructure from procuring from the firm.

According to China's broad definition of critical information infrastructure, this could include sectors ranging from transport to finance.

"The review found that Micron's products have serious network security risks, which pose significant security risks to China's critical information infrastructure supply chain, affecting China's national security," the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) said in a statement.
