US reportedly pressures South Korea over memory chip sales to China

It looks like the US is calling in even more favours among its allies in its bid to cripple China’s technology capabilities.
The FT reports the White House has asked the South Korean government to pressure its domestic chip-makers not to increase their supplies to China if that country decides to take action against American company Micron. So this will mainly be in reference to the memory chip market, where Micron is the third biggest global player behind Koran firms Samsung and SK Hynix.
