China is 10 years behind the rest of the world in chip production: the further, the worse the situation

TSMC will launch a line of semiconductors using the 2-nanometer process in 2025, and then the PRC will no longer be able to catch up with Taiwan.

In Taiwan, they are sure that China is lagging behind in the field of semiconductors by as much as 10 years. This was recently stated by Chen-Wen Wu, chairman of Taiwan's National Science Council, writes extremetech.com.

Mr. Chen-Wen Wu said he doubts the seeming gap in chip manufacturing technologies in The PRC and Taiwan are defined by a three- or five-year term. He believes that it is at least 10 years. He supports his opinion by the fact that the largest processor manufacturer TSMC will be able to launch a line of semiconductors using a 2-nanometer process in 2025. When this happens, then it will be possible to say with confidence that China is behind by a full 10 years.

Controversies surrounding semiconductors have not subsided since the Chinese company Huawei, which has been under the sanctions of the United States and countries for several years now- allies, managed to bring to the market a smartphone equipped with a 7-nanometer Chinese-made chipset. Here, China turned out to be quite close to the Taiwanese factory TSMC, which creates 5- and 3-nanometer processors. That is, the Taiwanese are only two generations ahead of the Chinese. However, with the launch of 2-nanometer technology, TSMC will leapfrog another generation ahead.

China is currently sitting on the back foot due to sanctions, mostly from the US, the Netherlands and Japan, which prevent the country from accessing advanced lithography equipment. which makes it possible to produce advanced 5-nm and 3-nm chipsets.
