I think it's a good promotion material, now other scientists and engineers know that company x is doing legit cool things. That is why a lot of big tech companies do open source work it's a good way to recruit people.

Eh patents aren’t just lawyer jargon tbf. You can glean quite a lot about the engineering behind a design through the patent language. But I think the broader point about patents not being blueprints with meaningful specificity is correct and an important distinction. You can still reverse engineer from a patent of course but the real meat of the engineering is not in the general approach or technique as laid out in a patent but in the precisely measured and calibrated parameters in how something is put together, and if you don’t understand the physical principles behind the patent you will get that wrong. Either way nothing that goes into a patent is magic sauce. The whole reason patent protection exists as a concept is precisely because it’s recognized that these ideas aren’t special and hard to reproduce, which is why there’s a desire to protect someone’s ability to claim that they got to it first as an incentive for invention (I think patents as they’re commonly implemented today are actually bad for innovation and instead of protecting general techniques IP law should focus on protecting specific product design, aka whole assembly implementations but that’s a separate discussion).
“We cannot let China get these chips. Period,” she said at the Reagan National Defense Forum in Simi Valley, California, on Saturday. “We’re going to deny them our most cutting-edge technology.”
Raimondo called out Nvidia Corp., which designed chips specifically for the Chinese market after the US imposed its initial round of curbs in October 2022.
“If you redesign a chip around a particular cut line that enables them to do AI, I’m going to control it the very next day,” Raimondo said.

Zhuoyuan Semiconductor, a supplier of silicon carbide crystal growth equipment and materials, received a strategic investment of 24 million yuan.
Recently, Jiangsu Zhuoyuan Semiconductor Co., Ltd. received a financial investment of 24 million yuan from Kaide Yuehao.
Jiangsu Zhuoyuan Semiconductor Co., Ltd. was established in 2018. It specializes in the R&D, production and manufacturing of wide bandgap semiconductor crystal equipment and materials. It has core technologies of SiC substrate material preparation and chip design with independent intellectual property rights. Currently, diamond CVD substrate technology is domestically Leading the way, silicon carbide substrate technology ranks among the top in the country.
Jiangsu Zhuoyuan Semiconductor focuses on the third-generation semiconductor crystal growth equipment and technical solutions to independently develop the MPCVD diamond crystal growth furnace, breaking the technological blockade of the "Wassenaar Agreement" on China's semiconductor industry.
The founder of the company, Dr. Zhang Xinfeng, studied for a master's degree and a doctorate in materials science in Germany, and followed his mentor to participate in the research and production plans of large-sized and high-quality semiconductor crystals of international manufacturers. He later worked for the Wacker Group, a Fortune 500 company in the world, and his position was semiconductor Thermal field expert, chief engineer of R&D department. In 2015, he founded Jiangsu Zhuoyuan Semiconductor Co., Ltd. in his hometown.
It is the first fully automatic production and manufacturing enterprise of semiconductor crystal materials in China. Its core technology, MPCVD diamond crystal growth furnace, has filled the gap without automation in the domestic crystal manufacturing field and is also in a leading position internationally. In 2022, the company developed and put into mass production the fourth-generation semiconductor material diamond, a small crystal of 15mm × 15mm. Due to its material properties, it is widely used in high-tech manufacturing applications such as optics and aerospace.
Zhuoyuan currently has more than 100 employees, including 26 scientific research and technical production personnel and 7 Ph.D.s. The team is strong and has formed an advantageous pattern of "promoting industrial development with technical talents". At the same time, Zhuoyuan established the Jiangsu Provincial Foreign Expert Studio and the Nantong Third Generation Semiconductor Engineering Technology Research Center. It took the lead and participated in the drafting and formulation of 2 national standards, applied for 45 patents, authorized 12 invention patents, and obtained national-level and Seven provincial honors.
Xinhuazhang and Guoxinqing formally established strategic cooperation
System-level verification EDA solution provider Xinhuazhang reached a strategic cooperation with Xinqing Technology, a domestic high-end automotive chip design company. The two parties will jointly introduce Xinhuazhang's EDA verification tools to enable the collaborative development of automotive-grade chips and application software, shorten the product launch cycle, and accelerate the innovation of new generation smart driving chips.
With the rapid development of China's smart car industry, car-grade chips have also ushered in a golden age. Xinqing Technology’s “Dragon Eagle One” has been used in many models and has been selected into the recommended catalog of automotive chips by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
By using Xinhuazhang's automotive grade EDA verification tools, Xinqing Technology can perform system-level software and hardware co-simulation and debugging that are consistent with real usage scenarios during the chip design stage, improving software and hardware synergy performance in system-level application environments and reducing costs. Risks during vehicle application.
Xie Zhonghui, chief market strategy officer of Xinhuazhang, said that they already have relevant technology accumulation and have created a complete agile verification solution and professional technical support to meet the technical needs of Xinqing Technology.

I saw the interview, quite cringey to say the least. First she says that the US is at the forefront of semiconductor innovation, ok, a few minutes later she says that national security is worth more than the revenue of US companies AND a few minutes later she says that US companies need revenue to continue innovating. She is a walking contradiction.
Obviously that department is full of think tankers who have no f*cking idea what they are doing and dealing with an enemy is one thing but dealing with a group of clowns who don't know what they are doing is much worse because they can unintentionally do more damage. And the worst thing is that the situation could get even worse if the GOP takes power, they want to ban even mature process tools and even more chips.
It is worth repeating that the Chinese must consider everything that comes from the United States as prohibited but still available. De-Americanization and localization is the only way out, this should not be a Chinese government thing but Chinese companies themselves need to recognize this if the want they want to survive, even the most liberal Chinese must understand that the only way the US is going to reverse its policies is if the losses are too high to bear or Chinese advancements made it clear the any containment is futile.

This is the lady who said "there is no evidence that China can produce 7-nm chips 'at scale'" and then few weeks later, said China's breakthrough was "incredibly disturbing" and she was "upset, angry" at the revelations.
Classic politician grandstanding with no accountability. It's not like any dinosaurs in the audience would care to follow-up.
Another boost for Omnivision coming next year as more AR/VR/MR glasses to be launched and expected to use their integrated CIS chips
which ironically does have usage in drones also. So yeah, they things that actually have military usage are not the chips that America has lead on or are being sanctioned.
I do find it interesting here that CXMT doesn't even appear to have any significant market share in TrendForce's Q3 chart for DRAMs. Even if all the remaining share at CXMT, that's still just 1% of total market
I think getting into Transsion and Redmi supply chain really matters since they are just getting into the more lucrative mobile DRAM market

Interesting to see more Chinese universities establishing more business ventures, in the early 2000s that was something the many people criticize a lot in China.
