China will produce its own optoelectronic communication chips for commercial use by 2025, officials said at the opening of a national information and optoelectronic research center in Wuhan.

Thursday’s opening of the center, in Central China’s Hubei province, coincided with President Xi Jinping’s visit to Wuhan to inspect technology industries and call for researchers and engineers to develop China’s own “core technology.” That call came after the U.S. banned Chinese telecom giant ZTE Corp. from buying U.S. components.

Way too Go ,
Not only will you save Hundreds of Billions of Dollars .

But Challenge the existing hegemony & control of West .

Wuhan, Wuhan...
3D NAND in Wuhan...

This is bound to happen sooner or later.

As i predicted on stupid American attitude towards those bans on Chinese companies. Now every industry including Korea, Japan and Taiwan will speed up toward independence from US monopoly over software and some areas in microchips.
You don't threaten Advanced Industries like that with puny bans. it will make things worse for your industry Mr Trump. Its not Cold war era

This has been vowed for many times and many years.

Shanghai seizes U.S.-made microchip equipment over IPR

018-04-28 11:18 Global Times Editor: Li Yan

A U.S. company and a Shanghai firm have agreed to settle an intellectual property rights (IPR) dispute after customs authorities seized chip-making equipment from the U.S. company at the Shanghai Pudong International Airport.

At the start of 2018, Chinese company Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment Inc (AMEC) learned that U.S. equipment suspected of infringing the company's patents would arrive at Shanghai Pudong International Airport. Shanghai customs authorities then seized the suspected products, Jiefang Daily reported on Friday, citing customs officers.

Customs suspended the clearance of the products worth 34 million yuan ($5.36 million).

With the customs' involvement, the U.S. company, whose name was not revealed, attached importance to AMEC's patents and negotiated with AMEC. The two sides agreed to settle the dispute by offering cross licenses to each other.

Based in Shanghai, AMEC is a global micro-fabrication equipment manufacturer, serving customers in the semiconductor industry and adjacent high-tech sectors. The company has applied for over 1,200 patents.

With the advances in Chinese technologies, the number of such infringements will rise, according to Hao Junbo, a lawyer at Beijing-based Hao Law Firm.

He told the Global Times on Friday that Chinese companies can learn from the U.S. by prohibiting imports or padlocking imported products.

In 2017, China made 1.38 million invention patent applications, leading the world for the seventh year. It made 51,000 Patent Cooperation Treaty patent applications, ranking second in the world.

In accordance with international trade rules, China always pays fees for using IPRs, said Shen Changyu, head of the State Intellectual Property Office, at a press conference on Tuesday. In 2017, China paid $28.6 billion to other countries, with a deficit surpassing $20 billion.

China will better protect IPR to improve the business environment and attract more foreign investors, Shen said, noting that China treats IPR of domestic and foreign companies equally.

IPR theft by the US company? It never happens in Dotardland.
