Hi XsizorThank you for the article. This sums up the progress made so far. If I'm not wrong, China is on a path to eclipse Japan's semiconductor industry ( hasn't it already done this in certain regards? ). That is a big accomplishment in itself.
Hopefully, China can make sure that the industry thrives (on technologically a generation or two inferior bases like 14nm , 64 layer 3D nand etc) by selling products to emerging markets like Latin America, Africa , SouthEast Asia and Far eastern Europe and parts of China itself where consumers are ready to overlook the performance gap for better value for money.
Its exciting for me to see the journey , to see the STRUGGLE and FINALLY its ACCOMPLISHMENT. Its a underdog story , Japan had experience the same treatment with more advance tech but succumb to AMERICAN PRESSURE and lost its MOJO to compete. I want to see the FINAL RESULT hopefully before 2025.
