Making the most advanced semiconductors requires cutting-edge lithography scanners to print the small, complex circuit designs onto microchips. But the Dutch government has banned the sale of its most advanced equipment to China. "Recreating advanced lithography systems that took ASML decades to develop and commercialize is a tall order for any individual Chinese company," Triolo said. SHANGHAI, CHINA - NOVEMBER 8, 2023 - Visitors learn about lithography machines at the booth of ASML at the 6th CIIE in Shanghai, China, November 8, 2023.

"Demand from data center customers continues to be strong and customer inventory levels are healthy," Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said on a conference call with analysts.

Personal computers infused with AI technologies are expected to have more memory chips, helping firms such as Micron.

SHENZHEN, China — Chinese vendor Yin Xinwei sometimes makes close to $1,400 a day selling low-priced pill boxes, barbecue spits and other items to U.S. online consumers. Each year hundreds of millions of packages, mostly from Chinese platforms, are sent directly to American consumers eager to take advantage of rock-bottom prices on clothing, electronics and other products. That could mean painful times ahead for the Chinese sellers that supply the platforms — and higher prices for American consumers. Chinese state media has criticized the proposal as protectionist and say it will hurt American consumers. Yin used to sell to Chinese consumers but has given up his domestic business to focus entirely on the overseas market.
