UMC / Micron trade secret theft spat just got bigger

First, UMC and its China partner got Micron banned in China months ago.
Micron’s DRAM has 20% mkt share in China.

Now US Justice Department charges UMC and China partner with theft of trade secrets.
The guy worked for a firm that Micron bought and then went to work at UMC. Doi’!

UMC never ever was a viable rival to TSMC anyway.
