In Part 1, we discussed the policy background driving the development of China’s IC design industry, including a comparison of the current status and trend analysis of selected IC firms in both Taiwan and China. In this section, we will further explore the development of the IC design industry from several perspectives, including a comparison of revenue trends between Taiwan and China. Additionally, we will examine the top 10 Taiwanese IC design companies with the highest and lowest R&D investments during the first three quarters of 2024, analyzing the differences in their R&D resource allocation. With the latest and most insightful analysis of the IC industry, you will not miss the hottest trends covered here.

With the development of AI applications in recent years, many industries have benefited from it, and Taiwan's semiconductor industry is no exception. However, as the Chinese government continues to follow up and use policies to support local industries, the pressure on Taiwan's IC design companies is increasing day by day. How will Taiwanese manufacturers deal with the threat posed by the rapid rise of Chinese companies? This article is divided into two parts. The first part covers the policy background of China's IC design industry development, and includes a comparison of the current status and trend analysis of selected IC firms in Taiwan and China.
