Why wouldn't China just charge the increased prices, same as the DRAM cartel? Primarily they want to make money.
Unless they offer below-cost RAM for a few years to drive the competition out of business before jacking up their prices of course.
Because that's not how you make money from the household consumer market. We're already there, and people aren't able to buy RAM.
You don't make money from product that doesn't sell.
