[National Bureau of Statistics: my country's Daily Chip Output Exceeds 1.5 Billion Units in the First Half of the Year] Wang Guanhua, spokesperson for the National Bureau of Statistics and head of the Department of Comprehensive Statistics of the National Economy, stated at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office on July 15 that the added value of high-tech manufacturing and digital product manufacturing above designated size increased by 13.3% and 12.3% respectively in the first half of the year, both accelerating compared to the first quarter. In particular, the explosive demand for high-end computing chips and memory chips brought about by the global artificial intelligence technology revolution led to a 23.1% increase in the output of integrated circuits from my country's large-scale industrial enterprises in the first half of the year, reaching 279.8 billion units. This figure is enormous, translating to an average daily production of over 1.5 billion integrated circuits. Integrated circuits, commonly known as chips, are widely used in intelligent equipment and electronic products. The daily output of over 1.5 billion chips not only represents digital updates but also vividly reflects the driving force behind the development of China's semiconductor industry.
