# Apple reportedly lobbies US for approval to source DRAM from China’s CXMT

According to sources, Apple is reportedly lobbying the US government for approval to purchase DRAM chips from Chinese memory manufacturer ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT). Apple has been in discussions with the White House in an effort to secure permission to source DRAM from CXMT, aiming to ease financial pressure caused by continuously rising memory procurement costs. Sources say Apple first approached the US Department of Commerce over a month ago and has also contacted other officials and stakeholders in Washington to seek regulatory approval.

CXMT is one of China’s largest DRAM manufacturers. The company was previously added to the US Department of Commerce’s Entity List last year. \[IThome, in Chinese\]
