U.S. export controls hinder the People's Republic from developing advanced semiconductors. But it may hasten China's progress in commoditised chips, embedding firms like SMIC in global supply chains, says mak_robyn
Yet this need not be the end of the $23 billion SMIC and its compatriots. In fact, most are quietly thriving by churning out low-tech chips that are seen as less politically sensitive. Notably, while the new U.S. rules target specific types of leading-edge memory and logic components to be restricted, so-called trailing-edge products, such as analog or discrete semiconductors commonly used in computers, gadgets and cars, fall under a grey area.
Analog sales alone jumped by more than a third last year, to $74 billion, outpacing growth for logic and memory, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association. And even for lower-tech processors, demand is still strong in China. First-half revenue at SMIC jumped 53% year-on-year to $3.7 billion, despite the company being put on Washington's so-called Entity List in 2020.
