Semiconductors in China - statistics & facts
Semiconductors are an integral building block of modern technology. They are not only installed in consumer electronics but are also critical for electronics used for infrastructure, manufacturing, and military application. China is a world technology leader and strives to maintain and expand on this reputation in a highly competitive market. China鈥檚 key focus areas of development include artificial intelligence and quantum computing, both of which rely heavily on semiconductor technology. However, supply chain disruptions as a result of COVID-19 and US sanctions have demonstrated the country鈥檚 supply vulnerability and confirmed Beijing鈥檚 belief that achieving autonomy in the semiconductor sector is crucial for China鈥檚 future development.
