Halbleiter: Messebesuch – die Großmacht Russland wird zu Chinas Juniorpartner
Moskaus Chipindustrie wird immer abhängiger von chinesischen Lieferketten. Das zeigt sich auf der großen Halbleitermesse CSEAC in Wuxi. Ein Blick hinter die Kulissen.
On the CSEAC, China's major chip manufacturing exhibition in Wuxi, Russia and China are growing closer as partners in the semiconductor industry despite their official designation as equals. Russian companies are present at the event, supported by a stand from the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade. Anatoly Kovalev, CEO of Zelenograd Nanotechnology Center, speaks to attendees about the importance of Chinese companies' interest in his products.
The two countries aim to become less dependent on imports of Western chip makers like Nvidia. Russia is investing in cutting-edge technology while trying to keep up with China, often needing help from Chinese suppliers. Chinese exports of electronic components, including semiconductors, reached $10.55 billion from January to July 2026, a 58% increase compared to the same period the previous year.
Analysts predict China will supply around 75% of reported "Common High Priority" exports to Russia. The close cooperation between the two nations is often publicized by Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
