China Kennissessie: China's Semiconductor Self-Reliance
China kennissessie met John Lee en Rogier Creemers over de zelfredzaamheid van China op het gebied van halfgeleiders. Moderatie door Floris Harm.
Introduction
The recent launch of Huawei's new smartphone, a showcase of indigenous Chinese technology, has been followed by US expansion of export controls targeting China's access to chips. This shows how despite US efforts to slow China’s technological rise, China continues to make progress in its quest for technological self-sufficiency. But China is not only developing its capabilities and domestic technological ecosystems, it is continuing to export these to the rest of the world. Many of these countries do not share US perceptions of the risks of Chinese technology. How this plays out over the next decade in the semiconductor and related industries is a pivotal geopolitical question, which we will delve into in this CKN Knowledge Session dedicated to the topic of "China's Semiconductor Self-Reliance".
LeidenAsiaCentre
The aim of the LeidenAsiaCentre is to generate academic knowledge on modern East Asia that can find societal applications in the Netherlands. The LeidenAsiaCentre focuses primarily on East Asia: China (including Taiwan), Japan, Korea and Singapore, but is expanding its focus to include South and Southeast Asia, notably India and the Indo-Pacific. As an independent NGO by Dutch law, the LeidenAsiaCentre identifies topics related to social-economic and political developments within Asia that are of relevance for the Netherlands and Europe at large.
