Can China's semiconductor self-sufficiency rate reach 80%?

China’s semiconductor companies are stepping up efforts to advance technology R&D and expand production capacity. At international exhibitions, major manufacturers of manufacturing equipment are rolling out new products. Thirteen senior executives from a leading semiconductor company have made a recommendation, urging that by 2030, domestic self-sufficiency reach 80% in order to catch up with the United States.

“From breakthrough efforts in high-end semiconductor equipment to iterative upgrades of core components, NAURA demonstrates its hard-core strength with every achievement and puts industry mission into practice with every innovation. It not only showcases China’s deep groundwork and grit in tackling hard problems in the semiconductor equipment sector, but also makes the world see China’s firm determination to target high-end and lead globally!” In conjunction with the international exhibition “SEMICON China,” held in Shanghai on March 25–27, Beijing-government-backed semiconductor manufacturing equipment firm NAURA Technology Group (NAURA) said this on its official social media account.

NAURA stressed that, as a result of its merger with Shenyang Ciyuan Microelectronics Equipment, which it invested in in 2025, it has expanded its product lineup. It also released new products that adopt micro-fine nano (nano refers to 1 billionth of a meter) level technology.

Nikkei Business Publications and The Financial Times merged in November 2015 to become the same media group. An alliance formed by two newspaper companies—those Japanese and British papers, both founded in the 19th century—advances collaboration across a wide range of areas, under the banner of “high-quality, the strongest economic journalism.” This time, as part of that effort, article exchanges have been enabled between the Chinese websites of the two newspapers.
