WASHINGTON, Nov 12 : The Republican chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee urged US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to bar Chinese memory chip producer CXMT from the US market and deny it access to American technologies.

Senator Tom Cotton said in a letter Thursday that CXMT "poses a growing risk to our economic prosperity and military superiority. The US must take action to prevent CXMT from gaining a stronger foothold in the global market."
