China's semiconductor industry is growing fast—so fast that experts predict it'll surpass Taiwan's chipmaking capacity by 2030, becoming the world's top foundry hub. This shift is driven by China's aggressive push to make its own tech, especially as U.S. export controls tighten.

Editor’s Note: This isn't just about bragging rights—it's a big deal for global tech and geopolitics. If China dominates chip production, it could reshape supply chains, reduce reliance on Western tech, and intensify tensions over Taiwan, which currently holds a critical role in semiconductor manufacturing. For consumers, it might mean cheaper chips, but also potential trade wars or supply hiccups down the line.
