China now producing its own blank wafers as domestic memory company ramps up 3D NAND production — YMTC consumes 500,000 homegrown wafers per month

And China ramps up production of silicon wafers.
"China appears to have developed their own capability to fabricate wafers," said Hashimoto. "Quality does not necessarily appear to be very good, but there is strong pressure to comply with the 'Buy China' policy. Local Chinese chipmakers, particularly those with a high degree of state involvement have little choice but to use made in China wafers. This policy directly competes with the inflow of wafers from the free world up to this point, but we do not have a lot of clarity on what exactly is going on."
the free world
Lmao fucking smug libs
"Free for whom?"spoiler
capital, it's always capital
Our pure, high quality, free world silicon
Their poor, subhuman, Asiatic local wafers
:nilla-yum:
damn I don't think I've had Nilla wafers since like the Bush administration
They gave me heartburn and didn't taste good.
500,000 wafers per month? uh sure wake me up when they're making 500,000 stroopwaffles per month
