Chipindustrie: Chinesischer Chiphersteller verklagt Pentagon wegen Schwarzer Liste
CXMT entwerfe, produziere und verkaufe seine DRAM-Chips für zivile und kommerzielle Zwecke. Mit der Klage will das Unternehmen seine Streichung von der Pentagon-Liste erreichen.
Düsseldorf - Chinese memory chip manufacturer ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) has filed a lawsuit against the US Pentagon, accusing the defense department of placing the company on a blacklist for allegedly supporting the Chinese military. The lawsuit was filed on Friday, alleging that the company is not connected to the Chinese military and had never been involved with it. CXMT designs, produces, and sells its DRAM chips for civilian and commercial use.
The company's main objective is to have the Pentagon remove it from the blacklist. Joining the list can lead to restrictions in government contracts and damage to the company's reputation. The Pentagon did not respond initially to a request for comment on the lawsuit.
In the lawsuit, CXMT accuses the Pentagon of making the decision "arbitrarily, lacking any factual basis, and violating the right to a fair process." The company was first classified as a Chinese military enterprise in January 2025, but the Pentagon withdrew the listing and retracted the announcement the same day in February 2026.
