US government tells Apple: Find alternatives to China for memory chips

Amid rising component prices caused by a worldwide shortage, the US government is urging Apple to discontinue sourcing memory chips from Chinese manufacturers. Allegedly, Apple has been assessing chips from CXMT and Yangtze Memory, however, US officials are pushing for a revitalized domestic supply chain. This call is echoed by US domestic chipmakers and senators who stress the importance of shunning Chinese memory suppliers in favor of local alternatives.
