BEIJING: While the broader economic fallout of the US tariff policies remains uncertain, China’s semiconductor industry is poised to emerge stronger in the long run, particularly in upstream sectors like chip equipment and components, despite short-term disruptions, analysts say.
Highlighting China’s steady progress in chips for smartphones, artificial intelligence (AI) and automobiles, they said Washington’s bullying tariffs and increasingly tightened chip restrictions will motivate Chinese companies to double down on research and development to achieve technology (tech) breakthroughs and even build semiconductor supply chains independent of US techs.
