## Summary

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., has urged Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in a letter to place ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) on the Bureau of Industry and Security Entity List, which would significantly restrict U.S. firms from doing business with the company. Cotton says CXMT, the world's fourth-largest DRAM producer, poses a growing risk to U.S. economic prosperity and military superiority. CXMT's DRAM market share rose from 4% to 10% by revenue between the second quarter of 2025 and the same quarter of 2026, according to Counterpoint.
