Controlled by the Chinese authorities holding Tsinghua Unigroup Recently expressed interest in cooperation with large foreign manufacturer of memory. Deal with SK Hynix asset purchase was rejected by the representatives of the Korean company.
SK Hynix positions in the global market of NAND memory is not as strong. However, a joint venture should restrict the transfer of licenses for the Chinese edition of the corresponding memory type . But even such a scenario can be realized only if there is approval from the government of South Korea, which is jealous of protecting national interests of China's neighbors, especially in the sphere of high technologies.
If cooperation with SK Hynix Tsinghua really begins, it will allow Korean products gain the trust of the Chinese government structures. In addition, the solid-state memory let licensed SK Hynix in China certainly be able to lower costs, and this will benefit the local microelectronics industry. Add that Tsinghua has indirectly controls one of the largest manufacturers of solid-state memory: Chinese Holding owns 15% of the company Western Digital, which in the short term, possess SanDisk.
