TL;DR Summary

The US has reportedly asked South Korea to urge its chipmakers, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, not to fill any market gap in China if Beijing bans memory chipmaker Micron Technology from selling chips. The request was made ahead of South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol's visit to the US for a summit with President Joe Biden. The US has imposed export controls on chipmaking technology to China for fear it could be used to produce chips for military applications.
