China fact of the day

China importing more than $300bn of chips last year famously more than it spent importing oil.

McKinsey, noting China’s modest progress in the field, points to the exponential growth in money and effort required as chips advance: it takes about 500 steps to create a 20nm chip, but 1,500 steps for a smaller 7nm chip.

That is from Louise Lucas at the FT.
