China's semiconductor industry has demonstrated a remarkable surge in self-innovation in recent years, particularly in the face of escalating sanctions and export restrictions imposed by the US. Rather than retreating in the wake of these challenges, Chinese chip manufacturers have accelerated their efforts toward domestic production, achieving significant advancements across various sub-sectors. This development not only highlights the resilience and innovative spirit of China's chip industry but also signals the failure of Washington's strategy to contain China's technological development.
