Overtaking in a corner is unrealistic_China Semiconductor's ambition

China suggests that its ambition to become a global semiconductor leader should be grounded in reality. While it may not be feasible for China to surpass industry giants like Intel in short-term R&D spending, the country is still making significant strides in emerging fields such as the Internet of Things. At the recent China International Semiconductor Summit in Shanghai, Ding Wenwu, president of the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund Co., Ltd., emphasized that the so-called “curve overtaking” strategy is unrealistic. He explained that the $20 billion government-backed fund launched in 2014 was meant to help Chinese chip companies rise, but true “overtaking” would only be possible if all competitors were on equal footing. Currently, China is working to reduce its reliance on over $200 billion worth of annual semiconductor imports, as it fears that excessive dependence could threaten national security and hinder domestic growth. The country plans to invest around $150 billion over the next decade to lead in chip design and manufacturing. However, U.S. officials and corporate leaders have expressed concerns that this ambitious plan might harm American interests. The National IC Industry Investment Fund, led by Ding Wenwu, has played a central role in guiding investment and shaping the industry’s direction. Ding Wenwu pointed out that “corner overtaking” is impractical under current conditions. “It’s only possible if everyone starts from the same line,” he said. He added that funding alone isn’t enough—companies like Intel, Samsung, and TSMC spend billions or even tens of billions annually on R&D. With the rise of smart vehicles and intelligent hardware, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is focusing on areas like smart sensors and connected devices. Shi Shijing, director of the Electronic Department at the ministry, stated that the country supports innovation in smart hardware, sensing, and medical technologies. “The integrated circuit industry is exploring new development directions and will not miss any growth opportunities,” he said. Ziguang, a leading semiconductor manufacturer affiliated with Tsinghua University, has grown into one of the largest players in China, leveraging high-performance processors and 3D-NAND memory chips. In March, Tsinghua Unisplendour secured 10 billion yuan in financing from the National Development Bank, while Huaxin Investment Management, established in 2014, has invested up to 50 billion yuan to support domestic semiconductor development. This progress has raised concerns in the U.S., prompting the White House to issue a report warning that China’s push in semiconductor technology could harm U.S. manufacturers and pose a threat to national security. Wei Shaojun, director of the Institute of Microelectronics at Tsinghua University, highlighted China’s main concern: “We don’t want other industries to be controlled.” He noted that heavy reliance on imported semiconductors leaves China vulnerable—if supply suddenly stops, the consequences could be severe. Meanwhile, overseas executives have questioned what would happen if China stopped buying their chips. Ziguang and other Tsinghua-affiliated firms have made several acquisitions, including RDA Microelectronics and Spreadtrum Communications, to strengthen their capabilities. They also signed agreements with global companies like Western Digital. However, some deals were blocked, and Tsinghua had to abandon its bid to acquire Western Digital due to U.S. regulatory concerns, as well as a failed attempt to buy Taiwanese companies. Now, China is worried that aggressive overseas M&A activities could lead to capital outflows, further threatening its technological independence. “The overseas acquisition environment is very complicated,” Ding Wenwu said, without going into detail.
