A quick comparison of US and China in electronics and semiconductor tech

China is racing towards self sufficiency in electronics engineering and more importantly in semiconductor chip manufacturing. China has a plan named "Made in China 2025" (MIC 2025) to achieve 40% local share in IC devices in 2020 and 70% in 2025. For U.S., semiconductor industry is strategic and is finding it tough to maintain the technology lead it had over years over other regions. The gap is no more that wider. Its like in a race the other participant getting more and more closer. U.S. is still finding ways to maintain the lead.
Here is a quick comparison of U.S. and China in various areas of electronics and semiconductor engineering. Semiconductor fab: The best fabs in China are now making 28nm chips where as in U.S., the 14nm are in full production and 10nm is ready. China is moving very fast in the chip manufacturing so that someday it may become world's silicon chip factory. Meanwhile U.S. may get away from silicon-path to some other nanotech. The race is getting interesting if not 'neck to neck'. Domestic made chips constitute more than 10% of China's semiconductor consumption. China is pumping in 100s of billions of US$s in to the semiconductor research well. In alternative nanotech research, China is also putting its best efforts. ...
