The US likes to call it 'Free Trade', AKA, 'do as we say or we will sanction you out of the market'

I doubt this would have happend if Micron had been able to buy them...

well isnt hynix one of the companies that was selling under cost and getting supplemented by the govt? i believe that breaks some kind of free trade agreement which brought on the tax.
