CXMT reportedly rejects foreign DRAM deals to prioritize China’s self-sufficiency

Chinese memory maker CXMT is reportedly turning away foreign customers as it focuses on supplying domestic demand and advancing China’s self-sufficiency in memory production.

According to a report cited by Wccftech, CXMT has not offered pricing concessions to customers outside China. The report says the company is seeking to compete with Micron, Samsung and SK hynix, while prioritizing local buyers over foreign deals.

Taiwanese server manufacturers have also reportedly been rejected. The report attributes those decisions to CXMT’s limited ability to keep pace with demand from customers in China.

The approach contrasts with manufacturers in other sectors, which the source says have offered Apple discounts in exchange for long-term contracts. It does not provide specific DRAM prices or details of any proposed contracts with Apple.

CXMT’s stated priority, as described in the report, is China’s self-sufficiency in the memory sector. The account does not include a response from CXMT or independently confirm the reported negotiations.
