Kiinan puolijohdemarkkinat kasvussa

EMSNow kertoo: IDC ennustaa Kiinan markkinoiden kasvavan 28 miljardiin US dollariin 2011 mennessä.

Pointteja analyysista:
  • technologies continue to lag behind
  • must keep in mind the dynamic characteristics of the Chinese market and the strong influence of the local government
  • top 10 Chinese IDMs focus on the foundry market, although a few have their own products
  • largest capacity distribution of China fabs was represented by 8-inch wafer lines, followed by the 6-inch and 12-inch capacity
  • consolidation is expected among the domestic Chinese
  • computing semiconductor segment will account for over 62% of the total China semiconductor market in 2011, with remarkable growth from the portable PC and server
  • digital consumer semiconductor segment will maintain healthy growth
  • 3G launch in China is critical to maintain market momentum in the mobile phone arena
Kiinan koko puolijohdemarkkinan koko muissa lähteissä:
45 miljardia USD vuonna 2006, 52 mrd vuonna 2007. Näissä luvuissa on näemmä käytetty erilaista markkinan määritelmää (design, valmistus, pakkaus jne..)

Georgia Tech: Kiina ohittamassa USA:ta hitech-indikaattoreissa

Juttu SciDev.netissä.

The report found that the United States and Japan have both fallen in relative technological ranking because of the dramatic rise of China and other nations like South Korea and Singapore.

"When you take China's low-cost manufacturing and focus on technology, then combine them with the increasing emphasis on research and development, the result ultimately won't leave much room for other countries," says co-author Alan Porter, co-director of the Georgia Tech Technology Policy and Assessment Centre.

Porter told SciDev.Net that he agrees China is still lagging behind in basic research. "But if we step back, the trend over two decades is strongly upward on both input and output indicators. I see strong signs of rising Chinese strength in basic science and technologies," he says.

Britit houkuttelevat kiinalaisia investointeja

Pääministeri Gordon Brown kävi Kiinassa. The Independent raportoi Brownin puheesta:

"We want Britain to be the number one destination of choice for Chinese business as it invests in the rest of the world. I believe by 2010 we will see 100 new Chinese companies investing in the UK, we will see 100 partnerships between our universities and Chinese universities and we will double the number of firms listed on the London Stock Exchange and thousands of jobs will be created."

Puolet Kiinan uusista rakennuksista ei täytä energiatehokkuusnormeja

China Daily 14.1.2008:
  • All new buildings in the country were designed for energy efficiency by property developers - but only half have been found to meet national energy conservation standards.
  • Energy consumption will be reduced 40 percent nationwide on average if the standards are fully implemented. In addition, this will help ease energy shortages and contribute to combating climate change.
Mutta:
  • The Ministry of Construction discovered in recent nationwide inspections that only 53 percent of projects under construction are turning energy-saving promises into action, said Song.
  • On average, about 2 billion sq m of new buildings are built each year.

Worldwatch: Kiina menossa alle kolmessa vuodessa maailman johtoon uudistuvissa energianlähteissä

China Daily raportoi:

"I think China will be number one in less than three years in every renewable energy market in the world," Worldwatch president Chris Flavin told reporters at the launch of the annual "State of the World" report.
...
"Although there are some great success stories in Europe in terms of renewable energy, I don't think anyone can compare with China in terms of the speed with which new markets have been created and in the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of new laws."

Kiina suunnittelee "megaministeriöitä"

BBC raportoi:

"The State Council, or cabinet, is considering the creation of some "mega-ministries".

For example, China's Central Policy Institute is proposing a financial regulatory body following the model of the UK's Financial Services Authority.

Agriculture, another area facing restructuring, may mirror the US model."

Saapa nähdä ulottuuko suunnitelman vaikutus tiede- ja teknologiasektorille, ja jos ulottuu niin miten.
