As Micron president visits China, chip maker stays silent in US-China balancing act
- Sanjay Mehrotra was among a group of American executives visiting China this week, but the memory chip maker avoided bringing attention to it

US chip maker Micron Technology, which Beijing targeted last year with a partial sales ban, has stayed tight-lipped about the company president’s visit to China, reflecting the uneasiness of semiconductor firms as they try to maintain business in the world’s second-largest economy amid geopolitical uncertainty.
Sanjay Mehrotra was among a group of US executives who this week met with top Chinese top officials, including Vice-Premier He Lifeng and Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Chinese officials asked US businesses to “play a strong role” in the country’s development. Micron and Mehrotra were not mentioned in China’s official readout, but a picture from the Foreign Ministry on Monday showed Mehrotra among the visitors.
Micron did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday.
