Chinese chipmaker ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) saw its market capitalization surge to $523 billion, briefly surpassing the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. This dramatic rise has sparked debate among experts regarding its sustainability, with some attributing it to AI-driven memory shortages and state-backed industrial policy, while others view it as a temporary boost.
