China admits local semiconductor industry can't match world class reliability
Beijing wants those gaps bridged – quickly – so that China moves from middling sophistication to high-end work.
To get there, China wants consideration of tech elements such as human-computer interaction, and the software used by manufacturers. Authorities always want products to be more reliable in all phases of their lifecycles – even unto eventual disposal. By 2025, the Ministry has vowed to run 100 demonstrations of how to improve reliability, and for at least 1,000 enterprises to have shown tangible results. A second phase of action, due to end in 2030, should see China fully adopt reliability standards across ten key products.Electronics was chosen as a target industry due to its vital role providing components to others, and also because Beijing feels it is sufficiently mature to respond to a call for improved reliability.
News that China thinks its semiconductor sector trails global reliability standards will be welcomed in Washington and other nations that have sanctioned the Middle Kingdom in the hope of slowing its development of such goods. Those who see China as a key supplier of other goods may wonder what they've been paying for. ®
