On August 14, Zhao Haijun, co-CEO of SMIC, analyzed during the second quarter performance meeting that looking ahead to the second half of the year, the industry momentum driven by artificial intelligence and its spillover effects will continue, bringing widespread demand for integrated circuit manufacturing. The company will flexibly allocate its existing production capacity and quickly validate new production capacity to help alleviate the tight situation in the supply chain. At the same time, the company has also observed that the pressure from rising supply chain costs has been transmitted to the manufacturing sector. The company will actively respond to and overcome difficulties, striving to minimize the impact.
