Even if the chips your foundry can produce are excellent and the technology is advanced, if you don't have even more advanced equipment, it's still useless. You'll still be constrained by foreign countries.
Therefore, Yi Anguo hoped that the future Huaxin could not only produce chips with more advanced manufacturing processes but also manufacture the required cutting-edge equipment, such as photolithography machines, etching machines, and packaging equipment.
I can already make chips, so making smartphones should be possible, right? Developing smartphones, operating systems, and even computers should also be feasible! Just building wafer fabs and contract manufacturing chips, while having our supply of equipment controlled by others, is rather pointless.
