China targets 70% domestic silicon wafer use amid AI boom and export curbs

China is intensifying efforts to localize its semiconductor supply chain by aiming for 70% domestic silicon wafer usage among its chipmakers this year. This initiative is driven by the increasing importance of chips for AI development and ongoing export restrictions from other nations. While China is largely self-sufficient in older 8-inch wafers, the push is now focused on advanced 12-inch wafers, with companies like Xi'an Eswin Material Technology significantly ramping up production.
