I reported on China’s chip design progress last year and figured it made sense to make this an annual occurrence. I was present at the China Integrated

China is stepping up its chip self-sufficiency push by combining relatively mature chips with new computing architectures in an effort to approach Nvidia's performance levels, according to a top industry expert.

China's focus on pushing domestic chips could make Baidu's chip unit, Kunlunxin, a fast-growing business for the company.

China's engagement with the global academic community in AI chip research also remains strong. According to preliminary statistics, research papers from Chinese teams have been cited by more than 1,000 organizations across 80 countries, including industry leaders like Nvidia.

Baidu is turning its Kunlunxin chip unit into a key supplier of AI compute in China, easing Nvidia shortages and tying its hardware to ERNIE and cloud services.

Netherlands-China standoff over Nexperia chips disrupts auto production, exposing the fragility of global semiconductor supply chains.

The European Union must incentivise investments by computer chip equipment, materials and design firms to ensure the bloc's security and not lag further behind U.S. and Asian rivals, industry group SEMI Europe recommended on Tuesday.

China has agreed to allow the export of chips critical to auto production, averting widespread shutdowns that had been predicted by the industry. The chips are provided by Nexperia, a Chinese-owned chipmaker based in the Netherlands. It’s a critical ...

China is pushing to grow its AI toy industry, with the government announcing recently that it will encourage toymakers and AI developers to work together. The market was worth about CNY24.6 billion (USD3.48 billion) last year, and is expected to increase to CNY29 billion this year, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Chip manufacturer Nexperia is calling on the Chinese side in an open letter to restore normal production. So far, without a response.
