China's Micron chipmaker ban ramps up US trade tensions
A move by Beijing to bar US firm Micron Technology Inc from selling memory chips to key domestic industries has ramped up tensions in an ongoing trade spat with Washington and lifted shares of firms that could benefit from the move.
China's cyberspace regulator said late on Sunday that Micron, the biggest US memory chipmaker, had failed its network security review and that it would block operators of key infrastructure from buying from the company.
It did not provide details on what risks it had found or what products from the company would be affected.
Analysts said they saw limited direct impact on Micron, as most of its key customers in China are consumer electronics players but warned the move could prompt some companies to rid their supply chains of Micron products due to political risks.

Meta slapped with record $1.3 billion EU fine over data privacy
Meta has been fined a record-breaking €1.2 billion ($1.3 billion) by European Union regulators for violating EU privacy laws by transferring the personal data of Facebook users to servers in the United States.
The European Data Protection Board announced the fine in a statement Monday, saying it followed an inquiry into Facebook (FB) by the Irish Data Protection Commission, the chief regulator overseeing Meta’s operations in Europe.
The move highlights ongoing uncertainty about how global businesses may legally transfer EU users’ data to servers overseas.
The EU regulator said the processing and storage of personal data in the United States contravened Europe’s signature data privacy law, known as the General Data Protection Regulation. Chapter 5 of the GDPR sets out the conditions under which personal data can be transferred to third countries or international organizations.
Ethiopia's Prince Alemayehu: Buckingham Palace rejects calls to return royal's body
Buckingham Palace has declined a request to return the remains of an Ethiopian prince who came to be buried at Windsor Castle in the 19th Century.
Prince Alemayehu was taken to the UK aged just seven and arrived an orphan after his mother died on the journey.
Queen Victoria then took an interest in him and arranged for his education - and ultimately his burial when he died aged just 18.
But his family wants his remains to be sent back to Ethiopia.
"We want his remains back as a family and as Ethiopians because that is not the country he was born in," one of his descendants Fasil Minas told the BBC.
