7 reasons why China can’t make a TI – yet


Shenzhen, CHINA – Will China ever create an enterprise comparable in size, creativity and impact to Texas Instruments?

Well, the Chinese haven’t come close yet. And, for the immediate future, there’s not much chance they will.

With surprising candor, Chinese executives here in Shenzhen acknowledge that they face a long road ahead -- before China can give birth to a Chinese chip company of TI’s caliber. A six-member panel, consisting of local Chinese fabless CEOs, Chinese executives working for EDA vendors and a foundry, and professor at Tsinghua University, debated the matter Friday (Sept. 7th) here at the China Fabless CEO Forum & Awards event, organized by EE Times-China, a sister publication of EE Times.
