CHINA's semiconductor imports continued to expand this year, as mainland enterprises rushed to stockpile integrated circuits from US suppliers ahead of sanctions by Washington, reports Hong Kong's South china Morning Post.
From January to November, China imported a total of 501.47 billion integrated circuits, a 14.8 per cent jump in volume from the same period last year, according to the General Administration of Customs.
The total value of imports recorded by the mainland in the past 11 months reached US$349 billion, up 10.5 per cent from a year earlier, customs data showed.
The double-digit increase in terms of volume and value of integrated circuits imports reflects Chinese enterprises' concerns over the severity of tightened US semiconductor restrictions and the potential impact on their operations.
