According to reports from The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. government has called on Apple to avoid purchasing memory chips from Chinese manufacturers. This call stems from concerns regarding China's access to American technology and expertise.
The tech company reportedly expressed interest in memory chips from the Chinese manufacturer CXMT. It is unclear whether and how this interest has been influenced by the government's warning.
The U.S. government has issued this warning amid broader concerns about national security, particularly relating to technology and data protection.
The situation underscores the tensions between the United States and China, especially in the technology sector, where violations of intellectual property and espionage raise alarms among American officials.
