According to Jiweiwang, according to all lobbying data required by the US House of Representatives and federal regulations, Micron Technology has been the most frequently lobbied company in the US semiconductor industry to the Department of Commerce and the Office of the Trade Representative since 2018, and is the only US semiconductor company to raise issues related to "China and competition".

From 2018 to 2022, Meiguang submitted over 170 lobbying content to government departments, among which trade, intellectual property, and Chinese competition content almost directly targeted China, while technology, manufacturing, and immigration content were also highly related to China. Apart from tax and funding lobbying content, China related lobbying content accounted for up to 67%.

Chinese Mainland market was once one of the largest markets of Micron Technology. In 2018, Meguiar‘s revenue in Chinese Mainland reached a peak of more than 17.3 billion US dollars, accounting for 58%. In the following years, Meguiar‘s revenue in the Chinese Mainland market gradually shrank to 3.3 billion US dollars in 2022, accounting for nearly 11%. As it fails the network security review, Meiguang Technology‘s nearly 11% direct revenue and broader indirect sales revenue are expected to be affected.
