This story was updated on May 25, 2018 to reflect a new report of a Chinese investigation into Micron and DRAM pricing.
Micron is supposedly now under scrutiny from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce. That comes less than a month after the report indicated Micron, along with other memory giants Samsung and SK Hynix, are to face potential class-action lawsuit in the US.
Chinese officials are concerned that the past few quarters of DRAM pricing have been detrimental to Chinese OEMs, and that Micron had been anti-competitive in its interference to supply equipment to Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Co. (JHICC), a memory manufacturer based in China.
Every PC needs memory and every PC also needs the best gaming monitor. Yes, every PC.
While the US lawsuit sues on behalf of US citizens, the Chinese government take it on themselves to limit growing monopolies in the market and ensure a level playing field. The highly-profitable DRAM market is in their sights due to the massive market controlled by only a few major companies, including Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix.
The report from DRAMeXchange, that outlines the Chinese investigation, also expects this to limit price increases due to the huge demand for memory that comes from China.
