CXMT Evicted Huawei-Linked Engineers From Its R&D Facility, As The Once-Humble Memory Maker Has Acquired A Taste Of Newfound Power Amid The AI Boom

Reuters reported that CXMT asked engineers linked to Huawei partner SiCarrier to leave its R&D cleanroom in June.

The move came as tensions grew over higher DRAM prices and tighter access for customers.

The dispute highlights how China’s memory-chip makers are gaining leverage amid an AI-driven DRAM shortage.

It also shows shifting bargaining power inside China’s tech supply chain, despite ongoing U.S. export restrictions.
