Zhichun Technology: New orders in the half year amounted to 2.362 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 37.33%​

Zhichun Technology announced that due to the rapid development of the company's industry, the company's business has grown steadily. As of June 30, the company's total new orders were 2.362 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 37.33%, of which semiconductors. New orders for process equipment amounted to 806 million yuan. As of June 30, the company's new business orders from the semiconductor sector accounted for 82.50%.

According to the data, the main business of Zhichun Technology mainly includes the research and development, production and sales of semiconductor process equipment and process support equipment, as well as the resulting high-purity process system construction, electronic materials, component cleaning and wafer regeneration services.

Previously, Zhichun Technology stated that the current demand for orders is strong, and the company has formulated and implemented a production increase plan since 2021, which is currently being implemented smoothly; it can meet the rapid growth of orders in the short term; the company's semiconductor equipment is currently produced and manufactured in Nantong, which is subject to The impact of the epidemic is relatively small, and the second-quarter deliveries currently appear to have relatively little impact.

China should semi-openly start paying bounties to people who steal American and European semicondunctor trade secrets and offer them asylum if needed, regardless of their origins and method. If one side is violating WTO principles and even the UN charter without any brakes I don't see a reason to not sponsor IP theft.

They dont seem quite accepting the idea of banning the export of this tools to China.
I still fail understand how this people equate hypersonic and EUV, like not having an EUV is not going to stop the Chinese or even the Russians (that its semiconductor industry is relative small) from developing this kind of weaponry.

Seems like what's happening in US is triggering a certain user to the point where he is dumping his pure, absurd, cope-filled fantasies onto every thread except the one about US. Being proven wrong and wrong again just drives him further into insanity. It's really ruining the readability of this forum where sanity is much valued.

How The Chinese Military Is Buying American AI Chips: Report​

/... /
The Biden administration has maintained Trump-era controls designed to curtail technology exports to military end users in China. These controls, however, don’t apply to items made outside the United States. Since most AI chips are made in South Korea and Taiwan, the end-user controls have very little power to limit purchases from Chinese entities, the report indicates.

Moreover, the Department of Commerce maintains an entity list through which the U.S. government can deny orders placed by hostile entities. About 500 Chinese firms are on the entity list. However, none of the seven Chinese intermediary suppliers (for the PLA) who ordered the 97 high-end AI chips found by the CSET researchers are on the list. And based on prior CSET research, a fraction of the PLA’s AI vendors are named in key U.S. export control and sanctions lists.

The seven intermediary suppliers are based in Beijing, Tianjin, Zhengzhou, Hangzhou, and Xi’an, and they are affiliated with the Chinese military through organizations including the Chinese Academy of Military Sciences, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, PLA’s Strategic Support Force, and others.

Meanwhile, some of these Chinese intermediary suppliers for the PLA are licensed distributors of U.S. chips.

Well, that's opportunity for Ms. Tai to balance US trade with China, right? Is she going to turn this into another Boeing debacle?

Why would the PLA buy chips that could be bugged?

Forget it is just another lazy report from CSET, people who get paid a ton of money for doing propaganda and researching the absolute minimal. The found like few bidding for chips that are not critical for the PLA weaponry, the ones that anyone could buy in bulk in a electronic market in Shenzhen and they assume that the PLA most be filling their weapons with this chips.

CETC makes all the military chips.
