La industria de chips de China vive su gran momento
En la primavera de 1979, poco después de que Estados Unidos estableciera relaciones diplomáticas con la República Popular China, una delegación comercial estadounidense llegó a Shanghái.

[深度] 長鑫科技生逢其時 政策支持、本土客戶與AI熱潮共譜華章
【彭博】-- 1979年春，美國與中國建交不久，一個美國官方貿易代表團抵達了上海。當時中國一直在嘗試製造集成電路，也就是計算機的基礎單元，但冷戰時期的出口禁令增添了這項任務的難度，決策層非常渴望獲得技術建議。美國企業高管去了一家國營工廠，看到以女青年為主的工人用鑷子和顯微鏡將細細的硅絲安放到位，再徒手把它們綁在一起。參觀結束後，中方官員向來訪者仔細請教了如何改進這種落後的工藝。 隨後幾十年裡，日本、韓國和台灣迅速躋身半導體產業的第一梯隊。這些鄰近的小經濟體在晶片製造方面幾乎跟中國同時起步，但後來它們取得了爆炸式的成功，中國卻始終落後。2015年，中國政府發布了雄心勃勃的「中國製造2025」藍圖，希望掌握前沿產業。那時候，中國約85%的半導體需求依賴海外，進口晶片的支出甚至超過了石油。 國內動盪和國際孤立導致的巨大技術差距看起來難以彌補。光有投資遠遠不夠。「中國製造2025」承諾投入約1500億美元政府資金來培育本土晶片產業，地方政府自己也掏了一些錢。但五年過去後，前景依然黯淡，不少項目沒了下文，貪腐行為被立案調查，明星企業紫光集團破產。...
