- China to surpass Taiwan in chipmaking by 2030.
- State-backed investment boosts capacity.
- Impact on global semiconductor industry expected.

China’s push for semiconductor independence is part of a state-driven policy. This development significantly affects global supply chains and self-sufficiency goals.
Mainland China’s expansion in chipmaking is led by state-backed entities like SMIC and Hua Hong Semiconductor. The strategic investment plan aims to boost production and surpass Taiwan by the end of this decade.
Chinese government efforts, including the “Big Fund,” drive expansion with several new fabs slated for completion. Industry researchers note China’s share of foundry capacity may reach 30% globally.

This shift impacts global supply and tech autonomy, influencing industries reliant on semiconductors. Major cryptocurrencies have remained unaffected in price and activity according to current data.
No direct effects have been observed in the crypto market, in terms of on-chain metrics or project developments. With Taiwan’s historical dominance, this marks a major industry shift.
Potential future outcomes in finance and tech depend on further advancements in China’s semiconductor policies and infrastructure. Such outcomes might eventually influence blockchain or digital assets indirectly.
