RAM has not come from China, and China isn't exporting much of it yet. Unless Canada and the EU and Japan and everyone else is also handing out tariffs on Taiwan, Korea, etc like the US is, their point was the price of RAM doesn't have anything to do with tariffs.

The price of RAM is high globally because the AI companies have bought future-RAM with money the RAM producing companies gave them to build data centers that don't exist yet.
