China's leading semiconductor packaging and testing firms are investing over US$2.2 billion to expand capacity driven by AI demand, profit surges, and government push for tech self-sufficiency, focusing on advanced packaging for high-end AI chips.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

China's surge in advanced chip packaging capacity opens a vital supply corridor for AI hardware makers. Founders in chip assembly should move fast to partner or supply as local capacity tightens and pricing power grows.
