The Chinese government has banned firms that handle critical information from buying microchips made by US-based Micron Technology, on the grounds that its chips pose "relatively serious cybersecurity problems". The move was described as a response to the Biden administration's harsh steps to block Chinese chip makers' access to tools needed to make advanced chips and run powerful artificial intelligence algorithms. Analysts warned the US company could now be cut from future business from Chinese companies.
