Domestic Substitution in the Semiconductor Industry

Domestic Substitution in the Semiconductor Industry

The domestic production of semiconductors is actually a response to external pressures. After the US-China trade war in 2018, with the US cutting off supplies (such as halting chip supplies to Huawei), we realized how dependent we are on imported high-end chips. The government quickly invested heavily to achieve self-sufficiency, with the National Integrated Circuit … Read more
