Twenty years ago, China became the 143rd member of the World Trade Organization. One of the poorest countries on the planet less than half a century ago, the country is now seen as the main threat by the United States. When Beijing joined the WTO, its economic weight was comparable to that of France. And today China weighs more than the whole of the euro zone and should, could, overtake the United States before the end of the decade.
The image of China in popular perception is that what was the greatest success story in international trade has become its greatest challenge, as the country’s rise to power has been spectacular over the past ten years, particularly in terms of which concerns technology. In this rise of the country, semiconductors play a key role. Everything accelerated when Beijing decided from 2015 to bet on a development strategy driven by innovation. Xi Jiping put China’s technological dominance at the top of his agenda in 2015. By deciding to strengthen the merger between the civilian and the military. Technological independence is at the heart of the speeches of the Chinese number one who has understood that the country’s leadership depends on its technological advance.
