China doubles US research output on next-gen chips amid export bans — trade war fuels a research wave

China.

The United States-China chip trade war is entering its fifth year, and it seems the U.S.'s intervention is coming back to bite it: A recent study by the Emerging Technology Observatory (ETO) found China has conducted more than double the United States' research on next-generation chipmaking technologies.

The ETO notes that 475,000 articles about chip design and fabrication were published between 2018 and 2023 worldwide. Of this body of work, 34% was produced by Chinese institutions, dwarfing the 15% coming from the United States and 18% from Europe. While chipmaking is not as popular for study as hot topics like AI and LLMs, China appears to be going all-in on studying the future of fabrication.
