It's very weird to buy Korean or American RAM on the grounds that Samsung and Micron are somehow more ethical than SK Hynix.

Can you clarify what you mean about the purported lacking ethics of SK Hynix? SK Hynix is also South Korean. And the article is about ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) in China now manufacturing consumer DDR5.

I have no qualms about buying Chinese memory assuming it's just as fast/reliable as Micron, Samsung, SK Hynix, etc

Their flagship Chinese facility is the Wuxi campus in Jiangsu province, which represents a multibillion-dollar investment and accounts for a significant portion of the company's total DRAM wafer output.
