Original: Samsung, SK Hynix upgrade China plants to make advanced memory chips - Reuters

Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are upgrading their manufacturing facilities in China to produce more advanced memory chips, Reuters reports. The move keeps the two South Korean chipmakers' Chinese operations competitive despite US export restrictions on cutting-edge semiconductor technology to China, and highlights how deeply their supply chains remain tied to Chinese production.

Why now: US-China semiconductor tensions make any expansion of advanced chip production in China by South Korean firms a sensitive, closely watched development.
