Yangtze Memory Technologies Co. (YMTC) has filed a defamation lawsuit against Micron and DCI, claiming a coordinated smear campaign aimed at discrediting its flash memory products. The company alleges that false narratives have been spread, suggesting its technology is involved in espionage for the Chinese government. YMTC contends that these claims, particularly those circulated by the website China Tech Threat, are not only inaccurate but unlawful. The suit further asserts that both Micron and DCI are aware of the lack of evidence supporting these allegations and are using disinformation tactics to undermine YMTC's reputation and market position.
YMTC alleges that Micron and DCI have engaged in a campaign to destroy its reputation through false claims, leveraging xenophobia to influence public perception.
The heart of the complaint reveals a broader issue of how companies may use media to manipulate narratives, particularly concerning national security and competition.
