The claims in the article seem like hyperbole. The specifics of this sort of thing are very difficult to know, though it does seem like there may have been some state-enabled theft of intellectual property. The key takeaway from this article for me is not the specifics of the case involving Micron, but the attitude of the Chinese government toward non-Chinese companies trying to compete in their country and their willingness to use underhanded tactics to prevent fair competition if it means furthering the agenda of a Chinese national actor. We will have to wait to see how effective US tariffs are at preventing growth of the Chinese economy, but I imagine that they will be viewed as too little too late in the grand scheme of history.
