China became famous for its eternal working days. The solution has been to throw employees at their time

by

The Reduction of the working day It seems to be a path of no return that many countries have proposed to move. Some, Like GreeceThey do not do it with a determined step. Instead, others whose self -denial It seemed immovable, they are surprising the world with day reduction measures. China is one of those countries that, unexpectedly, has proposed to cut its workday. Labor culture 996. While in a large part of the West the eight -hour workday begins to be seen as a vestige of the last century and fights for the reduction of working hours, in China the culture 996 still continues: work from nine in the morning to nine o’clock at night and six days per week. Such and as they tell In ethic, that pace of work is taking Chinese society to the extreme, pulling on the soils The birth rate in a country that for years has sinned just the opposite. Chinese authorities have been trying for years Eliminate the culture of 996 of the workplace, but Without too much success. Dji has seriously proposed. According to The published by SCMP, Since the end of February something very curious is happening in DJI, the Chinese drone manufacturer. When the clock marks nine o’clock at night, a squad of human resources managers travels through the brand’s central offices in Shenzhen. Their mission is to make sure that all employees without exception leave their jobs and go home as if it were a fire drill. Instead of evacuating the building for security, employees are “guests” to leave their cubicles to meet a new rule: no one can work beyond their day. The fault is “Neijuan”. No, Neijuan It is not the name of the company’s Human Resources Manager. The term could translate to something as “involution” and, as they explain in SCMP, It refers to the need to reduce excess competition in certain areas of the economy. The measure is imposed as a New economic policy of China in which it is intended to reduce the excess of competence that makes companies in certain sectors such as The technological either Renewable energiesinvest an unnecessary amount of resources without obtaining an improvement in their profitability or in their R&D in return. Therefore, it implies outbound templates without registering a significant advance generating inefficient competition. It is something unpublished in China. Until recently, it was common to see the offices of DJI illuminated until the early hours of the morning with employees who lengthened their days until infinity. Now, the image is very different and has impacted many who have commented on social networks. The Asian media highlighted the publication of a worker surprised by the measure that commented “it was the first time they threw me from the office.” Other technological giants are adding. Although the work culture 996 has the support of prominent names of the Chinese technology industry Like Jack Mamore and more international companies such as Haier or Measure They are adding to the call of the Chinese government of limit the days of its employees. According to sources of SCMPHaier would have ordered all the staff of his headquarters to respect the breaks of two days of the weekend, while Midea has begun to demand that the workers file their departure at 6:20 p.m., instead of 9 pm.

They are your best chance against China

by

The Japan government has announced that it will invest 200,000 million yen (about 1.5 billion dollars) to accelerate the development and commercial production of Perovskita solar panels, a technology of Japanese origin that could be their best opportunity for Challenge China in the global market of renewable energies. The bet is monumental. With this strong public investment, the Japanese authorities seek that the production of photovoltaic cells of Perovskita is equivalent to the capacity of 20 nuclear reactors by the year 2040. To achieve this, the Perovskita would mean a paradigm shift in the energy economy of Japan and the global geopolitics of clean energy. Light, flexible and very Japanese. Perovskita is a crystalline material with the ability to absorb a lot of light which can be manufactured in ultrafine layers based on raw materials more affordable than silicon. Perovskita’s solar cells were invented by Japanese scientist Tsutomu Miyasaka while working in Fujifilm. Japan Bet on movies of approximately one millimeter thick. One of the greatest values ​​of this type of panel is its versatility. Due to their fine thickness and reduced weight, they can be installed on complex surfaces, such as roofs with little load capacity, buildings walls, transport stations or even vehicles. In a country with such little flat and usable land as Japan, these advantages could be decisive to boost solar energy beyond the large traditional photovoltaic parks. The equivalent of 20 nuclear reactors. Japan has marked a very demanding calendar. The goal of producing energy equivalent to 20 nuclear reactors by 2040 is framed in the commitment that between 22% and 29% of the country’s total electricity generation comes from solar energy by then. At present, solar energy represents only 10% of its energy mix. To fulfill this road map, the government has granted subsidies of up to 1 billion dollars to Sekisui Chemicalone of the leading conglomerates in the development of Perovskita. They add up to the 500 million dollars already invested in the research and development of technology and other funds that would ensure the supply chain. Iodine is an essential component in the manufacture of Sovskita and Japan solar cells is one of the world’s world producers. The technical and economic challenges. One of the biggest technical challenges for Perovskita solar panels is moisture degradation. Sekisui He says he developed a sealed with specialized resins to prevent water between and accelerate deterioration. As for the economic challenges, the main unknown is how long it will take to lower manufacturing costs to competitive levels, taking into account that producing flexible Perovskita panels is between three and four times more expensive than making crystalline silicon panels, which have been lowering the price year after year thanks to the Huge production capacity of China. Japan hopes that thanks to mass production, the price of these new panels will become comparable to that of traditional ones. Reduce China dependence. In the end, it’s about that. China leads overwhelmingly the manufacture of solar panels conventional silicon, concentrating about 85% of the global production of photovoltaic cells and about 80% of the polysilic that they use. Japan, like other countries, depends largely on Chinese technology. The defenders of the Japanese bet see in the Perovskita a historical opportunity to break that hegemony. This material dispenses with silicon and uses iodine, whose main world producer, next to Chile, is Japan, thus reducing bottlenecks and dependency risks. Not only Japan develops Perovskitas. China too He is trying to win Japan In his own game. There are different variants of Perovskita and, while Japanese laboratories put all their efforts in ultrafine and flexible films, China has quickly advanced in hybrid models (more efficient silicon-butrovskite tandem cells) with thicker glass coated glass modules. Although both regions compete with the same material in mind, the market could end up segmented in applications: in Japan, covered and facades; In China, large solar parks or double -layer panels for urban environments.

China is improving both its wind turbines that Germany only finds an explanation: spies

by

Espionage is an art that requires adequate ingenuity, strategy and tools. But if we talked about using wind turbines to obtain information, it would seem science fiction. However, reality exceeds fiction, China has been accused of spying on Germany. Short. A group of German experts has detailed In a report that Chinese manufacturers could be using sensors in wind turbines to collect unauthorized data in Germany. In detail. The report, commissioned by the German Ministry of Defense, suggests that Chinese companies They could use sensors of turbines to extract confidential data or turn off the turbines remotely. In addition, they have recommended suspending wind projects that have a Chinese signature, the first being the Waterkant Marine Park. And what does China say? China’s Chamber of Commerce (CCCEU) has described the report as “technically unlikely and lacking a factual basis.” From the Chinese agency they have assured that companies are complying with European regulations. In addition, they have argued that concerns about security, related to data collection or remote control, are a pretext to block Chinese companies in the European market, which could affect loyal competition and international commercial relations. But can the turbines be used to spy? According to the CCCEU and Chinese experts, wind turbines They are not equipped to spy. The sensors are designed to optimize performance, monitor failures and protect wildlife. In addition, the remote control and management systems of wind farms, such as Waterkant, are managed by German and European companies. From the Chinese part they reinforce the idea that these allegations are unfounded and part of an attempt to protect the local market. But in defense. Marine wind projects have been suspended for military security concerns such as It happened in Sweden. The reason is because a wind farm can affect the arrest and monitoring of missiles due to the dimensions of a wind turbine. However, other countries are using them in their favor as the case of Poland, which has installed radar and sound systems among wind turbines. In addition, a similar strategy is addressing Windeurope together with NATO and the European Defense Agency (EDA) with the creation of a new project: Symbiosis. In it they seek to deploy marine renewable energies in the maritime defense space and create synergies to address them. Other accusations of espionage to China. It is not the first time that the Asian giant is accused in the German country, less than a year ago, three suspects They were arrested for stealing military technology. He was also accused of Early Europe With its secret space plane. It should be added, all the material you are designing to improve your espionage skills as Use Starlink signals to detect spy and drones airplanes, or A camera that identifies faces 100 kilometers. Finally, the Asian country It is developing A espionage agency, the Guoanbu, to become the first world power by 2049. The approach is based on economic and technological intelligence, along with cyberspage capabilities. Forecasts. Right now the US tariff replication has left a vacuum In global trade, which China is taking advantage of exporting its exports. For that reason, China wants to continue investing and working with the European Union. Despite this friction, bilateral shops They have reached The 5,591 billion yuan (771 billion dollars) in 2024, reflecting an interannual increase of 1.6 percent.

China intimidates in nuclear fusion. The construction of its own iter advances at full speed

by

The way to a destiny as challenging as the nuclear fusion Commercial must necessarily be full of small conquests. Of achievements that may seem modest, but that, in reality, are milestones that place us a little closer to an ambitious goal that does not pursue anything other than help us solve our energy needs without continuing to emit greenhouse gases. In this context Iter monopolizes much of attention. And it is understandable that it is so. After all, it is a project with a huge wingspan, which is also led by the European Union. In fact, this organization is assuming together approximately 50% of the total cost of a plan in which the United States, Russia, China, Japan, India and South Korea also participate. However, the commitment of public origin for nuclear fusion is not condensed only in Iter. And it is not limited only to the European Union. Not much less. Europe is pointing Very important scientific milestonesbut there are other countries that are also being very high, and that, precisely, do not move in the orbit of the West. In fact, two of them, probably the most outstanding, are China and South Korea. The Chinese experimental reactor CFETR is extraordinarily promising China that, as we have seen, actively participates in Iter’s tuning, has been engaged in the development of an experimental nuclear fusion reactor for several years at least as ambitious as the latter. It’s called CFETR (Chinese Fusion Engineering Testing Reactor), A denomination that we can translate as a test reactor for Chinese fusion engineering. The engineers of the country led by Xi Jinping completed their conceptual design in 2015 taking as a starting point the Chinese fusion reactors East, HL-2a (M) and J-Text. The experts of the commission that certifies nuclear facilities have approved the first section of the vacuum chamber CFETR has much in common with Iter. In fact, it aspires to complement the machine that is being built in the French town of Cadarache, and, at the same time, it is nourished by the knowledge generated during the design and development of Iter. Anyway The construction of the CFETR reactor It is already underway. And advances at a very good pace. In fact, just two days ago the experts of the Chinese commission that certifies the nuclear facilities gave the final approval to the first section of the reactor vacuum chamber. This is the gigantic component that we can see in the cover photography of this article. The CFETR reactor vacuum chamber will consist of seven other sections such as this, will have a height of 20 meters and will be made of stainless steel of very low carbon content. Inside, fusion reactions between the deuterium and tritium nuclei will occur that will be magnetically confined in a plasma that will exceed 100 million degrees Celsius. The most interesting thing is that this machine will operate in two phases. During the first of them, he will prove that he is able to generate up to 200 MW of energy, as well as sustain a tritium production ratio greater than 1. This simply means that will produce more tritio than consumeso he will be able to self -abuse from this radioactive hydrogen isotope. During the second phase of operation, the CFETR reactor will pursue more than 1 GW of power, so it will become a demonstration machine that, if everything goes well, will be happened by the first commercial fusion energy plants.

In China they are preparing their children for the future. The next course will begin to give a subject of AI

by

Students are about to learn artificial intelligence. Not by themselves (which also), but as part of the educational program. Beijing has declared the implementation of an initiative that will be dedicated to the children of primary, secondary and baccalaureate will form in this area. Eight hours a year. According to the official statement“From the autumn semester of 2025, all the primary and secondary schools of Beijing will provide general education in artificial intelligence, with a minimum of eight annual teaching hours. The courses may be independent or integrate into subjects such as information technology, sciences and practical activities. Innovative teaching approaches will be adopted, including the use of artificial intelligence assistants and project -based learning assistants interactive “. They seem few, but it may be just the beginning. The truth is that eight hours dedicated to AI seem few in a whole course, but it is a minimum that of course can grow. Moreover, in that statement it is indicated that “a mechanism of collaboration between universities, companies and secondary schools will be established to form exceptional talent students in artificial intelligence.” And training for teachers. Of course, teachers will be needed to teach these classes, and therefore in Beijing “teachers from different disciplines such as computer science, mathematics and technology will be trained to teach education in AI.” Impulse for education. The Deepseek phenomenon seems to have given wings to the initiatives aimed at winning the AI ​​career. Schools may launch these courses as an additional subject or as part of other subjects related to technology. AI everywhere. As they point out In Bloombergthis initiative is part of that effort of the Chinese government to ensure that AI infiltrates in various levels. Last week, for example, the Government Congress support The application of large language models and the development of a new generation of manufacturing equipment with integrated. Estonia has already taken a similar step. Other countries have already announced initiatives in this regard. Estonia He became In the first country in the world to integrate the Chatgpt.edu service in its national education system. As of September 1, 2025, 20,000 high school students and 3,000 teachers will have free access to these tools. It will be interesting to see if other countries end up making similar movements. Of course, this is an interesting long -term commitment. Image | David Wooo In Xataka | China has declared the war on private school: why he predicted the prolific “tutorials”

Manus is the new sensation of China after Deepseek. Is generating as many expectations as doubts

by

Last week voices began to hear in the AI ​​segment. We theoretically had a new Deepseek phenomenon. It was Manusa theoretical AI agent who raised especially striking options. However, in social networks there have been doubts and suspicions about the real capacity of this model. The unknown about its real value is there. Manus is not an AI agent. Those responsible on its official website is “a general agent who connects ideas with actions: not only thinks, delivers results.” It is actually more a “deep research” mode – like the ‘Deep Research’ of OpenAi – about the data that we give. Thus, Manus is theoretically capable of creating you a detailed 7 -day travel plan by Japanhelp you perform a deep analysis of the Value of Tesla’s actionscreate for you a presentation for a class on the conservation law of the momentFor example. Expectations in style. One of the product managers in Hugging Face He described it as “the most impressive tool I have ever tried.” His Official Discord server He has attracted almost 170,000 users since his creation a week ago. The expectation is remarkable, but as they explain In TechCrunchthere are doubts about their true capacity. Manus is based on Claude and Qwen. There are users who They have already indicated that manus seems not to have been created from zero, and apparently it is Totally based in varied models such as Claude 3.7 and Qwen (Alibaba). One of his co -founders, Yichao “Peak” Yi, confirmed that are in effect based on other products and they are a layer that relies on these models. In the presentation video Yichao stressed that In some benchmarks Manus was superior to Deep Research already OperatorOpenai products. It is? Errors and inconsistencies. Some experts such as Alexander Doria, co -founder of the startup of the Pleias, have indicated that manus makes mistakes and infinite loops When using it. Others point out how Make mistakes With questions with clear answers and Do not cite sources consistently. Beta by invitation. For now it is not possible to access manus options, and it is only possible to use it if any other user invites you. In TechCrunch they have managed to have access, and the tests performed, explained the editor who tested it, “have not been especially positive.” None of the agerentic tasks that he tested – seek table in a restaurant, take out plane tickets – worked. In The Register they have also had access and Nothing have been impressed with the results. “They tried to create a Mario clone that turned out to be quite terribleFor example. Other users who have tried or They praise it or They believe that despite its lights and shadows is a special promising product. At the moment this is not a Deepseek. The truth is that the rapid popularity of Manus contrasts with that of Deepseek, which was available from the first moment as an Open Source development that anyone could download and use. The company may want to take advantage of that expectation generated by betas with invitation access and prefer to avoid greater infrastructure expenses.

The US is leaving a huge vacuum in its tariff replication. And China is taking care of filling it

by

The measures that Donald Trump is taking are causing diverse consequences. The 25% tariffs for imports from Mexico and Canada that has just activated are a way to boost industry and employment in that country. Meanwhile, China is trying to take advantage of the moment to export more than ever, but there are many important elements in this commercial war. China is watering the world of exports. The Asian giant has been promoting trade agreements with countries around the world for years. The country’s ministry of trade shows it in its List of free trade agreementswhich includes countries such as Australia, South Korea, Switzerland or Chile. China already trades with almost everyone. There are agreements in negotiation with Norway, Israel or Panama, but new agreements with Colombia or Canada are also being investigated, precisely one of the great affected by the recent Trump tariffs. A well -known analyst, Balaji, He shared a graph in which the evolution of these agreements was appreciated from 2000 to 2024, when China has reached many more countries with its exports. But China needs to export. The problem is that China produces much more than it consumes, and that exports much more than matters. It occurs with steel, with cars or solar panels, and as indicated In CNN That drives her to increase her exports to revive her economy. And when it exports, it makes it benefiting that thanks to this overproduction it can compete in prices, throwing from the market to local businesses that cannot compete in that field. And consume much more. As we said, the imbalance between what is consumed and what is produced in China is remarkable. According to the World Bankin the world consumption represents 75% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), but in China it only reaches 53-54%. That is due to various factors, as indicated In Carnegie Endowmentbut promoting that domestic consumption is really complicated, which makes exports even more critical. Care to import too much. If the countries that trade with China import too many merchandise and Chinese products, they are in danger of deindustrialized, as in fact it has happened in recent years in the West. We have delegated the production of technology to China, for example, and Trump’s measures are precisely aimed at recovering land in that market. The problem It also affects emerging economiesthat are flooded with Chinese products and without the ability to export their own. Example: the electric car. Byd has managed to become the Great protagonist of the electric cars segment in 2024, and has done so thanks to that strategy. Their cars are usually more assertible and that has managed to attract a large number of buyers. Compete with the Chinese electric car has become very difficult, so Europe Tariff appealed months ago To try to balance things. USA bet on the US. Trump’s measures are punishing imports And they are trying to get companies to manufacture there so that the country does not depend on those foreign products and materials. Recent ads Like those of TSMC either Apple They precisely try to avoid tariffs but force these companies to make strategic decisions that would probably not take. China’s exports to the US import, but not so much. The majority of China’s exports focus on other regions, and not so much on the US. In 2022 those regions They added About three billion dollars, compared to 637,000 million dedicated to the US. The business with that country is remarkable, yes (22% of the total), but not critical for Chinese exports that can be affected by tariffs. Canada (probably) will become more friend from China. The “punishment” tariff will affect trade between the US and countries such as Canada, but precisely this country has been increasing its trade quotas with China for years. Beijing has already shown his intention to reinforce those commercial ties with Canadaand Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, made clear the situation. When referring to Trump, he highlighted how what he is doing is something “very dumb. Two friends fighting is exactly what our opponents worldwide want to see.” Mexico also reacts. Claudia Sheinbaum, president in Mexico, also made it clear that “It is Mexico’s defense time“Faced with tariffs imposed by Trump. The president will reveal her plans soon, but she may also end up approaching the Chinese government as part of that response to Trump’s measures. Being a friend of China has its. That provision of China to reach commercial agreements with more and more countries is not exempt from problems, and in fact we have seen it with the example of European tariffs to the Chinese electric car. And meanwhile, collapse of the bags. Trump’s tariff policies have caused in recent days a collapse of the bags, and the great technological ones in the United States They have suffered especially that blow. Yesterday they managed to contain the losses a bit, but the falls have been significant in both traditional markets and in cryptodives.

It will build a repair center in the heart of China

by

As of April 1 ASML will not be able to sell To its Chinese clients its measurement and inspection equipment of integrated circuits. Dutch administration has tightened its controls export to China, aligning with The sanctions approved by the US At the beginning of last December. In practice, these prohibitions force the largest manufacturer of the planet’s lithography equipment to request licenses from the Netherlands government to export a good part of its machines. However, this is not all. At the end of last February several US officials They met with their Dutch and Japanese counterparts With a firm purpose: negotiate what steps can take to drastically limit the participation of ASML and Japanese Tokyo Electron engineers in the maintenance of semiconductor production equipment that are being used by their Chinese customers. China is already the largest Asml market The sanctions that the US governments and the Netherlands are approving are degrading the ASML business in China. It is inevitable if we are in mind that this European company cannot sell its most advanced lithography equipment to its Chinese clients. And neither can some maintenance and after -sales services services provide. The most surprising thing is that despite the current situation the Chinese market is increasingly important for ASML. Despite the current situation, the Chinese market is increasingly important for Asml In 2022 the sales of this company in China amounted to 2.9 billion euros, which represented 13.8% of its annual sales. At that time Taiwan was a more important market for Asml than China. In fact, in 2023 the clients of the island bought lithography equipment for a total value of 8,100 million euros, while its Chinese clients disbursed 7.3 billion euros. And, curiously, in 2024 China was consolidated as the largest market for ASML with total sales of 10.2 billion euros. To understand where this figure comes from, we need to keep in mind something important. As we have seen, ASML cannot sell its most advanced equipment to its Chinese clients, such as the machines of extreme ultraviolet lithography (UVE) or deep ultraviolet (UVP), but at the moment you can deliver the solutions that allow producing chips with mature integration technologies. These are the semiconductors that are mostly used in cars, appliances or electronic devices, among other products, and usually occur in nodes of 28 nm or less advanced. Anyway all these machines need maintenance. And ASML is determined to guarantee it to its Chinese clients beyond the very likely reluctance that US governments and the Netherlands can put. According to SCMP This company will build a repair and reuse of lithography equipment in the heart of China. In Beijing. This decision comes at a time when The tension between the US and China is maximumso, in reality, it is a very clear statement of intentions: ASML will protect your business in China at all costs. We will see what the government’s response led by Donald Trump will be. Image | ASML More information | SCMP In Xataka | Japan wants to recover leadership as a manufacturer of lithography equipment.

China urgently needs an alternative to Cuda de Nvidia

by

Chinese companies that are dedicated to artificial intelligence (AI) They already have at their disposal a wide range of GPUs designed and manufactured in China. Huawei is the best positioned company thanks to its Chips Ascend 910 family, but in the country led by Xi Jinping There are many other specialized companies in the tuning of hardware for which they also have great potential. Metax, Biren Technology, Moore ThreadsINNOSILICON, ZHAOXIN, ILUVATAR COREX, DEGLINAI OR VAST AI TECH ARE SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT. “China is dedicating mass resources to the implementation of emerging companies specialized in the development of GPU. Do not underestimate them.” This warning was probably not ignored. He was aimed at the US government and came from someone who knows well what he says: Jensen Huang. The general director of Nvidia He pronounced these words Last year, during the celebration of Computex, and it is evident that its intention was to prevent US administration about the consequences that They would have the sanctions that seek to stop the technological development of China. Hardware is no longer the problem; It is CUDA Li Guojie, a computer scientist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences that is considered an authority in China, has confirmed What we have just seen: GPUs for the most advanced Chinese, such as Huawei Ascend 910 chips that I mentioned above lines are comparable to current NVIDIA solutions in terms of calculation capacity. However, the authentic strength of the company led by Jensen Huang is not its hardware; is its ecosystem CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture). “Deepseek has had an impact on the CUDA ecosystem, but has not completely overcome it because barriers persist” Most of the AI ​​projects that are currently being developed are implemented on CUDA. This technology brings together the compiler and development tools used by programmers to develop their software for NVIDIA GPUs, and replace it with another option in the projects that are already underway It is a problem. Huawei, who aspires to an important portion From this market in China, it has Cann (Compute Architecture for Neural Networks), which is its alternative to CUDA, but for the moment CUDA dominates the market. The most surprising thing is that not only Chinese companies need to part with this software; The entire AI industry wants to end Cuda. This is at least what Pat Gelsinger saidthe former director general of Intel. In December 2023, this executive wet and explained what was the official position of his company in the context of the AI ​​sector. “The whole industry is determined to eliminate market CUDA (…) We see it as a shallow and small pit (…)”, Gelsiter defended in the framework of the event “Ai EveryWhere” held in New York. According to Li Guojie“China must develop an alternative system to achieve self -sufficiency in AI (…) Deepseek has had an impact on the CUDA ecosystem, but it has not completely overcome it because barriers persist. In the long term we need to establish a set of software tool systems for controllable that exceed Cuda“. This is undoubtedly one of the great challenges that China faces in this area. Perhaps Cann manages to break down gradually and manages to finally impose himself, but while he persists to some extent the development of AI in China will continue to depend on the US.

Sooner or later China will be the world chips leader

by

At the moment nothing indicates that Donald Trump’s arrival at the White House will relax the tension held by the US and China. The strategy of the new US government on many fronts is very different from the one defended by the administration of Joe Biden (The Ukraine War is one of them), but in what It refers to China a priori nothing changes. And does not do so because the nation led by Xi Jinping is the only one that has the ability to play world supremacy to the USA. In fact, the government led by Joe Biden openly recognized the document that collects its National Security Strategy October 2022 that China has the necessary capacity and resources to dispute the US Its world leadership position. A good part of the sanctions deployed by the US government and its allies seeks to slow down the development of the Chinese semiconductor industry due to the deep impact that it has on its scientific, economic and military capacity. But China bids increasingly. China leads chips research with overwhelming roundness Currently the biggest challenge facing the China semiconductor industry is the set -up equipment of extreme ultraviolet lithography (UVE) similar to those produced by the Dutch company ASML. The US and Netherlands sanctions prevent this company from selling them to their Chinese customers, and these equipment are necessary to produce on a large scale and with a competitive cost integrated avant -garde circuits. In 2023 the Chinese government approved a 41,000 million dollar game for lithography equipment manufacturers In this situation, the only way China can follow is to dedicate a lot of resources to research with the purpose of matching, or even exceeding the level of development they have achieved in the field of Taiwan semiconductors, USA, South Korea or Japan. And is doing it. At the beginning of September 2023 the Chinese government approved a departure of no less than 41,000 million dollars Destined precisely to the companies that produce the equipment involved in the manufacture of integrated circuits. The achievements are already arriving, and are notable. SMIC and HUAWEI have opted, at least for now, for refining their lithographic processes and optimizing UVP lithography machines (deep ultraviolet) manufactured by ASML that they already have in their possession. Other companies, however, have chosen to develop their integration technologies relying on the new teams that Naura Technology, Amec (Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment Inc. China) or Piotech Inc. have taken to point. This is the path that You are following Yangtze Memory Technologies Co. (YMTC), the largest memory chips manufacturer in China. However, China’s authentic strength is its ability to develop avant -garde research. He Emerging Technological Observatory (ETO), which is an international organization specialized in the analysis of the adoption of emerging technologies globally, points out that Between 2018 and 2023 475,000 articles were published dedicated to the design and manufacture of chips throughout the planet. 34% was produced by Chinese institutions, while Europe is formed with 18% of those articles and the US with an even more modest 15%. In addition, again according to Eto, Chinese articles are among the most mentioned, which supports their quality. This trend draws a future on the horizon in which China’s weight in the semiconductor industry will be increasing.
