Here's the full report Although China imports US$300 billion worth of chips annually – about US$160 billion of which are re-exported in finished electronics products – it is a laggard when it comes to making them. Chinese President Xi Jinping has repeatedly urged the country to become more self-reliant when it comes to core technologies like semiconductors, which power all manner of electronics from AI to smartphones. Officially, the Chinese government has never stipulated that chip making technologies should be of Chinese-origin. Rather, it has emphasised the need to attract foreign capital, technology and talent. To that end, a large number of overseas trained and educated Chinese nationals have heeded the call and returned to China to establish start-ups in the semiconductor field, ranging from electronic design automation (EDA) software and IC design to silicon foundry and wafer processing equipment.
