CLAIM · ASSESSED ~ · CONFIDENCE 0.65
At full capacity, both CG Semi plants will manufacture 5 billion chips annually, or 1.5 crore chips per day.
WHY THIS MATTERS · This matters because China just extended export controls to the equipment that makes gallium and germanium chips while the US locked down sub-14nm tool sales — a two-way choke that is already delaying compound-semiconductor parts for Western defense and power-electronics makers.
