"The United States may be about to change its policies regarding Chinese technology companies. Evidence of the possible change emerged on Friday when the US Federal Register published an updated list of designated Chinese Military companies whose activities in the USA are greatly restricted. The list disappeared within hours after a US government agency requested it be withdrawn, but numerous reports state that document listed Chinese web and cloud giants Alibaba and Baidu,"
"The update also reportedly removed Chinese memory-makers ChangXin Memory Technologies and Yangtze Memory Technologies, a change that means both can sell their DRAM to US customers. The two companies make very small quantities of RAM, probably too little to offer significant price relief to US buyers. Pentagon spokespeople have said a revised list will be made public soon. Reuters, meanwhile, reports that the US may lift bans on Chinese telcos operating in the US."
The US Federal Register briefly published an updated list designating Chinese companies as linked to the military, then withdrew the document after a government agency request. The published list reportedly named Alibaba, Baidu and BYD as security risks. The update reportedly removed ChangXin Memory Technologies and Yangtze Memory Technologies, allowing both to sell DRAM to US customers, though production quantities are very small. Pentagon spokespeople said a revised list will be made public soon. Reports indicate possible US moves to lift bans on Chinese telecom operators and withdraw plans to block TP-Link sales, reversing the 2020 Clean Networks policy aimed at protecting sensitive American data.
