Sen. Cotton Urges Commerce to Blacklist Chinese Memory Maker CXMT

Sen. Tom Cotton is asking Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to add CXMT, a fast-growing Chinese DRAM maker, to the U.S. Entity List. The request comes as CXMT expands its DRAM production and moves into high-bandwidth memory (HBM).

Why it matters: Entity List designation would restrict CXMT's access to U.S. technology and could tighten the supply of HBM, a key component in AI accelerators, affecting teams that depend on that hardware.
