Chinese memory chipmaker CXMT sues Pentagon over 'Chinese military company' designation
The company was designated a Chinese military company by the US Defense Department under the Biden administration and was retained on the list by the Trump administration during a June update.
China's leading memory chipmaker, ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT), has filed a lawsuit against the US Pentagon, alleging its designation as a Chinese military company. The Pentagon has not yet commented on the matter. CXMT, which designs, produces, and sells DRAM chips for civilian and commercial use, is seeking to overturn the designation, which can trigger government contracting restrictions and reputational damage.
The company argues that the Pentagon's decision was arbitrary, lacked evidentiary support, and violated its due-process rights. The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the District of Columbia, names the US Department of Defense, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg, and Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base Policy Michael Cadenazzi as defendants.
