As CXMT's DRAM capacity set to match Micron's, China's DRAM industry could become world's second largest after South Korea.

ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) began considering building its sixth DRAM fab in China to boost memory output in the coming years. If all announced projects proceed as planned, the company's production capacity could more than double in the mid-term future.

Chinese DRAM maker CXMT wants the US Department of Defense to remove it from the list of companies linked to the Chinese military.
