🚨 STOCKS | China Is Coming for Another Critical AI Chip Market

China’s semiconductor push just expanded into a new battlefield.

CXMT — already one of China’s most important DRAM manufacturers — is reportedly preparing to enter the NAND flash memory market.

The company plans to build a NAND R&D production line at its new Beijing facility and has already started discussions with potential customers.

Why does this matter?

AI data centers don’t only need GPUs.

They also require enormous amounts of:

HBM
DRAM
NAND storage

And global memory supply is already tight as AI infrastructure demand accelerates.

Until now, the NAND market has been dominated by companies including:

Samsung
SK Hynix
Micron

CXMT entering this market introduces another major Chinese competitor — backed by Beijing’s broader push for semiconductor self-sufficiency.

There’s another interesting development today:

SK Hynix’s Solidigm is separately considering building a NAND factory in the United States, potentially in New York, as the global battle over where AI memory gets manufactured intensifies. No final investment decision has been made.

The bigger question:

After GPUs, could memory become the next major front in the U.S.–China AI chip race?
