Korean media: China's self-sufficiency rate of semiconductor equipment exceeds 35%!
Korean Business Post reports: Despite the strict export controls imposed by the United States, China's domestic self-sufficiency rate for semiconductor equipment has exceeded 35%, marking a turning point in China's move toward technological self-reliance. This achievement has surpassed the 30% target initially set by the Chinese government, reflecting the "paradox of sanctions": U.S. sanctions have actually promoted the independent development of China's semiconductor ecosystem.
From 7% starting in 2020, it has increased five times over five years to reach 35%. According to media exposure, it had already reached 50% by the end of last year. That means that by 2026, it should be above 50%, which is definitely good news. It is faster than expected.
If we solve the lithography machine by 2027, the domestic production rate will probably exceed 90%, and the "neck-pinching" issue will become history.
