SMIC does not compete with micron

Reporter: why suppress SMIC micron?

SMIC people: SMIC foundry, rival micron is not the true sense of the main reason, Meguiar's recession is probably more in the development of rival Samsung, Infineon etc.. Suppression of core international development, without any real meaning of micron. As far as I know, in recent years Chinese micron business development of the market very quickly. 'perhaps more should consider how to work with smic.

The person's words in the United States DRAM chip maker micron (Micron) technology company, it is reported that micron protests led to the rejection. After Meguiar's company said, the U.S. government should not help overseas competitors to improve the scale of production, especially the current chip market oversupply, the U.S. government is more reason to do so.

We didn't get technical support for 90 nm.

On the one hand, the national strategy of the chip industry has led to the blockade of the developed countries, on the other hand, it has made the core international obtain a favorable environment for development in china.
