China's semiconductor industry is intensifying efforts to achieve self-sufficiency in response to U.S. sanctions restricting access to critical technologies. Led by SMIC, the industry is incorporating homegrown semiconductor-production equipment into its manufacturing lines, particularly at SMIC's new Jingcheng facility near Beijing. SEMI estimates that China represented 33% of all chip equipment sales in 2023. Additionally, Chinese AI chip companies, including Shanghai-based MetaX and Enflame, are downgrading their GPU designs to secure production from Taiwan's TSMC, adapting to U.S. export curbs. Intel CEO noted that China must make its own chips if sanctions are too restrictive, pointing to EUV as a key cutoff point.
