The world is flattened due to out-sourcing and off-shoring. China has already become the largest importer for electronic components now. Of the $247 Billion high tech imports in China in 2006, $130 Billion were electronic components and equipments. (China statistics in 2007, reported by MOST) China is also entering second year of 11th-5-year plan. New government policy and aids just come out to support electronics eco-system and several industrialization efforts on some application markets. Electronic design business is heating up in China as domestic companies emerge to take advantage of newly chinese made standards. Some domestic companies also went public in NASDAQ, such as ViMicro, Action and Spreadtrum. Chinese domestic IC design houses will continue to strengthen their design capabilities in order to reduce reliance on imported components. Buying from domestic IC houses will help domestic OEMs to reinforce their competitive positions. In this talk, we will answer many questions raised by you and tackles issues including: * What is current status of IC industry in China? * What is current china government policy? * What is the strategy for 11-th 5 years plan? * Who are top players now in China? * What are they doing to take advantage of strong demand? * Who will be the Chinese equivalent Samsung or Broadcom in the future? * What is hot products in China for IC design? * What is trend in China on electronic design? * What is challenges that China design house facing? * How can IC design industry improve its design capabilities? * Where to set up your own R&D center? * What you can do in Silicon Valley to catch those opportunities, what role will you play? No slides will be posted for this talk. You have to attend to learn the news.
