An analysis of China's semiconductor technology indicates that the country is now only three years behind Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), the industry leader. This finding highlights the limited effectiveness of U.S. export restrictions aimed at curbing China's advancements in chip technology. Hiroharu Shimizu, CEO of the semiconductor research firm TechanaLye, noted that the analysis involved disassembling 100 electronic devices annually to assess China's capabilities. Despite U.S. efforts to limit China's access to advanced chip technology, the country has made significant strides toward self-reliance in semiconductor production. This development suggests that China's chip industry is evolving rapidly, potentially diminishing the impact of international restrictions on its technological progress.
