China is a major player in the global electronics market, with its dominance in semiconductor manufacturing, electronics assembly, and consumer electronics. As one of the largest producers and consumers of electronics, China’s rapid advancements in 5G, AI, and IoT technologies are reshaping global electronics supply chains. Through strategic investments in R&D, semiconductor fabrication, and innovative product development, China is fueling the next wave of technological progress across industries. As China leads in electronics production and innovation, its global influence continues to grow, particularly in the electronics design and hardware manufacturing sectors.
Thirteen executives in the Chinese chip industry, including Yangtze Memory Technologies chairman Chen Nanxiang and Naura chairman Zhao Jinrong, have drawn up a plan to achieve 80% self-sufficiency in semiconductors by 2030. China had around 33% self-sufficiency in 2024, so 80% by 2030 is ambitious. An earlier plan called ‘Made in China 2025’ aimed for 70% by 2025 but fell ...
What a striking image. It is the Matrix, made by AutoFlight, and it is the world’s first 5-ton class electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
Researchers at Peking University have scaled the physical gate length of a ferroelectric transistor down to 1nm and propose a novel “nanogate ultra-low-power ferroelectric transistor” architecture. By engineering the device structure of ferroelectric memory and introducing a nanogate-induced electric field concentration effect, the researchers developed a ferroelectric transistor capable of operating at a voltage of 0.6V. The device achieves an ...
All companies are at risk when they rely on a single-country manufacturer, but not for the reason you might think, says Marc Witzke. At the end of October 2025, India’s government announced the first $627 million of projects to boost its electronics components manufacturing capacity – only part of the country’s $2.7bn commitment to reducing its import dependencies. From around ...
China’s Q3 cloud infrastructure services market reached $13.4 billion, growing 24% YoY, says Omdia. In Q3, the market shares of Alibaba Cloud, Huawei Cloud, and Tencent Cloud were 36%, 16%, and 9%, respectively. Alibaba Cloud expanded its multimodal model portfolio; Huawei Cloud accelerated AI adoption in core industry use cases through the co-launch of industry models; and Tencent Cloud clarified ...
AutoFlight has unveiled Matrix, the world’s first 5-ton class electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, which successfully completed a public full transition flight demonstration at the company’s low-altitude flight test facility center. During the demonstration, where Matrix flew alongside AutoFlight’s 2-ton CarryAll cargo eVTOL, Matrixcompleted the full mode transition flight sequence, transitioning from vertical take-off through cruise flight to ...
DRAM specialist ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT), and NAND producer Yangtze Menory Technologies (YMTC), China’s top memory companies, are racing to expand capacity to exploit the memory shortage. According to the Nikkei, CXMT is looking to build capacity at its Shanghai fab site which is two to three times more than the capacity of its Hefei site which runs about 180,000 ...
China has submitted two filings to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), each for 96,714 satellites. The CTC-1 filing is for a single notional Non-Geostationary Orbit (NGSO) system. The CTC-2 filing is still at the Advanced Publication Information stage. CTC-1 and CTC-2 are early-stage ITU regulatory filings but don’t authorise launches. Although filed as two separate NGSO networks, CTC-1 and CTC-2 ...
Zeekr’s 7GT EV promises “Chinese technology with European design and soul” at the Brussels Motor Show for €45,990. “A true passion project, the 7GT represents our commitment as a high-end challenger brand to deliver high-level premium products to our customers, without losing focus on their fundamental drive – the thrill of the journey,” says the blurb. Using 800V architecture the ...
Another Chinese AI chip developer, Biren Technology, has had a stellar IPO. Biren shares rose closed 75% over the offer price on the Hong Kong stock exchange on Boxing Day, reports the Nikkei. Biren raised $716.85 million and achieved a market cap of $10 billion. Since Jan. 1, 2022, Biren has accumulated losses of $486 million. At of H1 2025, ...
