In eastern Shanghai, SMIC is pushing technological boundaries with advanced chip manufacturing, essential for AI and 5G, amid U.S. geopolitical concerns over China’s tech progression.
U.S. officials contend that advanced chip technology is vital for both commercial sectors and military dominance, creating strict barriers to prevent China from obtaining these capabilities.
Despite SMIC's growth and its status as China's semiconductor champion, it struggles to match the output and technology of leading rivals like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.
The upcoming release of Huawei's A.I. chip, the Ascend 910C, demonstrates SMIC's efforts to innovate, yet it lacks the capabilities of banned U.S. chips like those from Nvidia.
