      Chinese RAM production is mostly going to end up in Chinese AI datacenters, as per government mandate.

      In 2025, [Chinese] authorities introduced requirements that data centers obtain at least 50% of their chips from domestic manufacturers - and by November that year, state-funded projects reportedly faced additional restrictions that excluded foreign accelerators from facilities still under construction.
