Just ban Chinese memory. I don't buy any Chinese memory or nand. And not recommend for any one.

I think the fact that US DOJ, and not Micron, was pressing the charges says it all.

So if I understand it correctly, the U.S. DOJ will now compensate Chinese manufacturer Fujian Jinhua for all the financial loss and reputation damage these wild and baseless accusations have caused to them over the last six years?

Right? Riiight?!?

All I hear are crickets...

Far from not guilty

"Micron previously reached a global settlement agreement with Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Company, and the companies have dismissed all litigation between them," Micron told us when asked about the not guilty verdict against Jinhua. "We have no further comment."

It's not immediately clear whether the December settlement, which was also overseen by Judge Chesney, is related to Jinhua being found not guilty in the DoJ case. We've asked lawyers for both sides to get additional clarification.

Far from not guilty

Do you say the same for every U.S. company that has settled out of court for an undisclosed sum without admitting any wrongdoing over the last two decades?

All I hear are crickets...

Don’t worry, there will be more unsubstantiated charges against Chinese companies because investing in legal charges is cheaper than R&D

In them cases the headline say some about it being settled not that they where found not guilty.
