Foreign Media: China's chip exports saw a significant surge in the first half of 2026. According to customs data, both the quantity and value of integrated circuit exports increased by over 96% year-on-year, becoming a key driver of China's export growth.
Driven by the global artificial intelligence boom, high-tech products such as chips, servers, and computers have emerged as new engines for economic growth. At the same time, exports of high-end manufacturing products like industrial robots in China continue to show strong momentum, indicating a structural shift from traditional manufacturing toward technology-driven exports.
China continues to promote the development of domestically produced chips to enhance its semiconductor self-reliance. Although some companies were recently approved to purchase NVIDIA H200 chips, indigenous R&D remains the long-term strategy. The rapid expansion of AI-related industries has significantly boosted exports of computing equipment and components, further solidifying China's position in the global technology supply chain.
