China is Planning to Purge Foreign Technology and Replace With Homegrown Suppliers

Expecting to see all major countries adopting similar policies with regard to Chinese products.

All communist countries are control-freaks, they might open up for some time, then the basic tendency gets back.
If India will not use foreign products and just rely on Indian products, then they will be 100 years behind China when it comes to technology.

The days when western tech companies can make exorbitant profits leveraging their monopolistic position are fast coming to an end。

These companies must learn to live on “normal” profits in tandem with a shrinking global market share。

Many of them might not be around in a decade.:D

Most of the so called indigenous product usually contain made in China component. Everything in house is very expensive and only a few countries with huge and mature manufacturing based can do it.

A fine example of a cluster of domestic hidden gems that play vital roles in replacing foreign tech suppliers with homegrown ones。:enjoy:


Capital Microelectronics wins the best FPGA Product of the Year Award
Nov 7, 2014 (China Knowledge) – Capital Microelectronics Co Ltd, which provides programmable logic devices, reconfigurable microprocessor and related software design tools for system manufacturers, saw its low-consumption CME-HR wins the Best FPGA’s Product of the Year Award in 'China Annual Creativity in Electronics Awards 2014'.

As this year’s new low-consumption FPGA product, its CME-HR is oriented to consumer electronics that include smartphone, tablet PC, flat-panel display, portable media player and home Internet. It is a big challenge to provide products that is suitable for such wide market range and meet the changing customers' demand in the field of consumer electronics that use the latest technology, said a relevant person in charge of the company.

After many years of technology know-how accumulation, Capital Microelectronics has launched China's first low-power FPGA chip to meet low-power consumption with flexible applications.

Beijing E-Town International Investment & Development Co., Ltd and Beijing Agate Logic jointly found Capital Microelectronics in 2010 to be China's first and the only company that provides full set of independent intellectual property for FPGA products.

“I see a trade war happening. This could get ugly fast, and it has,” said Ray Mota, chief executive officer of Gilbert, Arizona-based ACG Research

Which means there will not be a trade war.

Don't worry. All actions here will be within WTO frame.
I think DRay should worry about indian economy as it shrank to $1.7t due to rupee collapse.

You think other countries didn't do the same? India just banned Xiaomi phones. USA prevented Huawei net equipment entering its domestic market.

Xiaomi was banned becuz they violated patents no govt conspiracy in this

I see this as a good business move by china.... India should also work in this line too.... Although I don't agree to most Chinese arguments, this seems like a great way to support local economy and also keep the country updated... In recent times it has been seen clearly that China has emerged as a tech. innovator in almost all the fields...
Gone are the days, when China used to steal from Japan and Korea....

Welcome to the forum man

Favoring and encouraging local products are extremely important for the current transition of the Chinese economy. However heavy protection of local companies might cripple the competition which would downgrade the quality. While favoring the local products, Chinese policy makers should also ensure the sustainable competition environment among local and between local and foreign companies.

Major breakthrough in China's chip material: mass production of high-purity silane

OFweek | Posted: 24 Dec 2014, 11:42

Recently, the pilot production project of large-scale silane with independent intelligent property right, led by Professor Xiao Wende from Shanghai Jiaotong University, has been successfully completed at Henan Pingmei Shenma Group. Besides, it has continuously and stably produced high quality silane products with purity more than 99.9999%. The success of this project marks the large-scale production of high purity silane technology has made a great breakthrough.

It is understood that the total import of China's electronics and Large Scale Integrated circuit (LSI) chip industry reached up to $ 230 billion last year. An important reason is the lack of high-purity crystalline silicon material, and the production of high purity crystalline silicon must be based on high-purity silane. China's electronics industry has been looking for ways to mass produce high-purity silane for decades, hoping to clear away obstacles to the development of China's information industry.

Silane is an indispensable material in the production process of solar cell, which has wide applications in flat panel displays, semiconductors, coated glasses and etc. In recent years, the domestic market demand for silane has reached 15-20% annually.

China to become large predator for IC businesses during 2016-2020

By: Nobunaga Chai | digitimes | Posted: 24 Dec 2014, 10:17

While related policies and regulations chartered to the development of semiconductor industry in China, as defined in the nation's 13th Five-Year Plan for the period from 2016 to 2020, remain unclear, it is not doubt that China is likely to become one of the major predators for IC businesses during the period, according to Digitimes Research.

In addition to setting a national investment fund to foster the development of its semiconductor industry under the 13th Five-Year Plan, the China government also aims to generate a production value of CNY870 billion (US$139.78 billion) for the semiconductor industry by 2020.

To raise the self-sufficiency rates and control manufacturing capability for key parts and components, leading China-based brands, including Huawei, Datang Telecom, ZTE and Haier, have all committed investment in IC design houses.

Integrations of these IC design houses and IC manufacturing companies such as Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), Huali Microelectronics Corporation (HLMC) and Changziang Electronics could result in the formation of branded IDMs or virtual IDMs.

The formation of large-scale IDMs is also one of the major tasks of China's new Five-Year Plan that will fulfill the supply chain of its semiconductor industry.

Under China's new development plan, Taiwan-based IC design houses and IC backend service providers are likely to become the preys to be hunted by China-based IC companies, DigitimesResearch commented.

(SMIC plans to contribute US$100 million to a joint-bid to take over the Singapore-based firm.)

Semiconductor Manufacturing International (SMIC) will be part of a group of China-based investors looking to buy STATS ChipPAC. The IC foundry has announced that its subsidiary SilTech Shanghai will participate in Jiangsu Changjiang Electronics Technology's proposed acquisition of the Singapore-based IC backend house.

Under the co-investment proposal, SilTech Shanghai will put in around US$100 million, SMIC disclosed.

The IC Fund set up by China's government is another co-investor Jiangsu Changjiang has recruited to support its proposed acquisition of STATS ChipPAC.

Jiangsu Changjiang in early November made a US$780 million offer to acquire STATS ChipPAC, with negotiations originally set to complete by November 30. Nevertheless, talks on the proposed takeover are still ongoing with completion scheduled for December 31.

Jiangsu Changjiang is China's largest semiconductor chip tester with five production plants located in the provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui.

Incorporated in September 2014, the IC Fund is China's national investment fund aiming to boost development of the local IC industry.

Alibaba’s Tai Chi culture

Urging people “to calm down, to slow down, and to realize that sometimes slow means fast”, Jack Ma is not only the chairman of China’s leading e-commerce company ‪#‎Alibaba‬, but also an avid believer and practitioner of‪#‎TaiChi‬.

His only security assistant, or rather, bodyguard, Li Tianjin is also a Tai Chi guru. This 5’7’’ tall man is well known to the Kung Fu world for his “K.O. in one hit.”

Li comes from Wenxian of central China’s Henan Province, which claims itself as the cradle of Tai Chi. Like other kids there, he started to learn the martial art in his childhood. With both talent and professional training, he won various championships.

Li is not the only Tai Chi practitioner in Jack Ma’s e-commerce empire. Alibaba’s employees have included nearly 5,000 Tai Chi enthusiasts, and a few other winners of international Tai Chi competitions, according to data from Alibaba.

“Actually I almost totally follow Tai Chi principles in running the company,” Ma once told media. He said this practice teaches “how to use four ounces to move a thousand pounds.”
