Since then, both Nvidia and Intel have similarly fielded accusations from Chinese authorities and an industry group of their products posing as security risks, though there has not been any regulatory action.
Micron, however, will continue to sell to two Chinese customers that have significant data centre operations outside China, one of which is personal computer maker Lenovo Group, the people said.
Headquartered in Boise, Idaho, Micron will also continue to sell chips to automotive and smartphone sector customers in the world’s second-largest economy, one person said.

The company made US$3.4 billion, or 12 per cent, of its total revenue from mainland China in its last financial year.
