China No Longer “The World’s Factory”

[gambit]

Exiting doesn't mean increasing investment. It means stopping investment and removing existing investment. Samsung increasing investment is the opposite of exiting.

The thing with journalists is that they have contacts and their contacts have contacts, and so often the information from disparate sources correlate each other.

But recent news suggests manufacturers from the more heavily invested nations – like, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan – are leaving China in droves, and, although authorities rarely publicly acknowledge an exodus, they are striving to hold on to these foreign direct investments.​

​

What you see as investments are prior planned and in most cases legally obligated.

Texas To Get Multiple New Fabs as Samsung and TI to Spend $47 Billion on New Facilities

Samsung has not announced which process technologies will be used at its fab near Taylor, Texas, but says it will produce chips for 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), and mobile applications, which implies that the fab will gain fairly advanced technologies. In fact, keeping in mind that all of Samsung's nodes thinner than 7 nm rely on extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, it is reasonable to expect the new fab to be EUV capable. As a result, Samsung's customers from the U.S. (such as IBM, Nvidia, and Qualcomm) will be able to produce their chips in the U.S. rather than in South Korea, which might allow their developers to address systems used by the U.S. government.​

​

China can have increased commodity semicon products, but the industry major players are seriously re-thinking China as a place for more advanced products.

Micron just shut down its Shanghai DRAM operations, and there are plans to completely shut down its China manufacturing operations.

Many yrs ago, I helped start up that operation.

Modern journalists get things wrong all the time with no accountability, so there's no claim to authority here. If what you said is true how come FDI is increasing while Vietnam, a country where companies are supposedly leaving to, still don't have a single semiconductor fab even in planning?

As I have said on my earlier post, China doesn't want to stay as world's cheap and dirty factory, but it is advancing toward knowledge based, high-tech and high value added exports.

China inks $8 bln nuclear power plant deal in Argentina

State-owned China National Nuclear Corp (CNNC) has signed a contract in Argentina to build the $8 billion Atucha III nuclear power plant using China's Hualong One technology, reviving a deal that had been stalled for years.

China has never been as strong it is now as the ‘world’s factory’.

no one said journalist are not wrong

but this is the era of the citizen journalist and we all have access to Google Maps and GDP data and lots of other information

and we all can see the Gulags in Xingjing

and we can also see the fake Chinese news bloggers on youtube lying their way into a black hole

this has nothing to do with true or false journalists

Yes, no fake journalist from west, no bot from from US regime. No smearing from neo con. The washing powder used as evidence against Iraq for WMD is just a fake lies by others.

Statistics do not lied.

China is still the world's factory whether one agrees or not.

And it is simply logical and coherent since China also happened to be the safest place on earth at this point of time.
