1 week ago As US adds more semiconductor hurdles, Chinese firms could seize an opportunity

China’s drive for economic self-reliance is raising the spirits and prospects of its semiconductor industry, as insiders expect more home-grown technologies after Washington revoked waivers for some foreign-owned chipmakers’ factories in China to use US technologies in their operations. The Chinese branches of South Korean chipmakers Samsung and SK Hynix, as well as Intel Semiconductor (Dalian), will lose their fast-track status for compliance as “validated end-users”, meaning they will need to...

The US government has drafted an expansion of its critical-minerals list to head off what an official said were potential “supply-chain disruptions”, in a move that experts say could help onshore more production of semiconductor chips, automotive systems and solar panels instead of relying on China. The US Department of the Interior released the draft 2025 List of Critical Minerals on Tuesday, adding 51 mined commodities such as copper, lead, potash, silicon and silver. This marks the second...

3 w. ago China’s exports, investments to Global South surge in ‘age of tariffs’: report

China is accelerating its pivot to the Global South to reduce reliance on the United States, potentially creating “a new order of global commerce”, according to a new report. Chinese exports to the Global South – covering most of the developing world – have doubled since 2015, with growth seeing a notable uptick after the US-China trade war during US President Donald Trump’s first term, S&P analysts said on Tuesday. In the past five years, these exports have risen by 65 per cent – tripling the...

4 w. ago China mandates more domestic AI chips for data centres to cut reliance on US

China is requiring its data centres to use more home-grown computing chips in a move that underscores Beijing’s accelerated efforts to cut reliance on foreign technology as the US tightens export controls. Publicly owned computing hubs across the country have been asked to source more than 50 per cent of their chips from domestic producers to support the indigenous semiconductor sector, according to people familiar with the matter. The mandate finds its origins in guidelines proposed in March...
