I just look up international math Olympiad result (for high school students). Russians are still ranking very high. Students in Russia are given a very strong technical background and they don't learn men can give birth to babies in high school or how to use pronoun correctly
Chinese companies should have R&D centres in Russia to make use of Russia's human capital. Huawei has a Russian research institute. But does Russia actually have any existing IP or manufacturing capacity that it could supply to China?
There was some collaboration between ROSELEKTRONIKA and CETC, but seeing how unprepared the Russian military was in term of electronics, communications and drones for Ukraine I guess the collaboration wasn't deep enough.
Russia can supplement China with the world's leading mathematical and physical scientists, that's what China lacks is to bring those theories and practices... I'm hoping they will match works like project CR929...
A little more on CR Micro.
They displayed a wide range of products in the 2022 China International smart industry expo.
They showcased high end IGBT of different voltage, MOSFET for different voltage, SiC products and GaN products. Apparently, the sales in Sic product has increased by 433%.
Increased focus on consumer electronics, new energy, industrial control and other fields
Like every other Chinese chip maker, they are expanding production. They are looking to start their new 12-inch production line in Chongqing by the end of this year. This project required 7.55 billion RMB of investment. Their 8-inch production line in Wuxi and Chongqing are also seeing production increases.
They currently have 230k wpm of 6-inch production as well as 130k wpm of 8-inch production. The new plant will add 30k wpm of 12-inch production. They also have 1k wpm of sic production.
In the first half of the year, their Sic production increased 4 folds and the pending order amounts to over 10 million RMB.

"Russians" engineers are certainly very competent if you have worked with any in the past, however the question is have they remained in Russia or fled since the sanctions in 2014 and the tech boom around the world.
Tech war: YMTC sends message of compliance after Washington puts China’s largest memory chip maker on watch list
Yangtze Memory Technologies Co (YMTC), added to a trade watch list by the US government two weeks ago, has highlighted its compliance “across the globe” in the first public statement by China’s largest memory chip maker since Washington imposed sweeping export restrictions. YMTC initially kept its own counsel after it was added to the “unverified list” by the US Bureau of Industry and Security on October 7. The company can be removed from the list if it provides the US government with more details about the end users of its products. If it does not comply, it will be added to the Commerce Bureau’s Entity List, subjecting it to strict US export controls. YMTC’s statement late on Thursday, which included a denial that it had met with the Chinese government on US restrictions, indicates that the memory chip maker wants to avoid further punishment by Washington. “YMTC is a commercial entity that follows global, market-based and compliant concepts,” said the company. “We’ve always adhered to the principle of legal and compliant operation across the globe since establishment.”
Sir maybe a coincidence since Intel is treading waters regarding its PC sales.
24 hours ago — A recent report mentions Intel is planning to lay off a significant number of employees to reduce costs amid a demand slump for PCs.
YMTC is in the business of producing commodity memory chips. What kind of compliance issue can it possibly have to begin with? The US had accused YMTC supplied memory chips to Huawei because YMTC chips were found in some Huawei phone. But how could YMTC know who has used their commodity memory chips which are distributed widely with no YMTC direct control? Hasn't Qualcomm been supplying Huawei with their mobile phone chips? Granted, they are no 5G but 4G chips. Right, but what G chips are YMTC ones? Must be 64G, I suppose.
In fact, probably the real problem is not so much YMTC supplying chips to Huawei, it's their plan to supply chips to Apple.
Ok, maybe these guys are not so unfair or inconsistent after all, since it seems that Marco Rubio can also accuse Apple sells its iPhone to Chinese military.
"Marco Rubio, a Republican senator, recently voiced concern about reports that Apple was considering buying chips from YMTC, which he said had “extensive” PLA links. “It is unacceptable that sales of the next generation of iPhones would end up strengthening the Chinese military,” Rubio wrote to Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive."
What logic is there in all these accusations?
