Microcontrollers hold the highest share of China's automotive semiconductor market.
Microcontrollers (MCUs) dominate the automotive semiconductor market due to a strong manufacturing ecosystem, the quick adoption of smart devices, and government initiatives aimed at semiconductor self-sufficiency, such as the 'Made in China 2025' policy and the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund, which has allocated over USD 29 billion for domestic chip development. In automotive applications, MCUs play a crucial role in real-time control, monitoring, and processing for systems such as engine management, battery management, ADAS, infotainment, and safety features. This integration enhances vehicle performance, safety, and user experience. Moreover, Chinese manufacturers are working to stabilize their production of automotive-grade chips at the 14 nm process node and are investing in 7 nm capabilities. For instance, SMIC began mass production of 14 nm chips in late 2019. By March 2022, the company reported impressive yield rates of 90–95% for its 14 nm chips, which are regarded as industry-leading and suitable for critical automotive and industrial applications where reliability is essential. In 2024, the surge in EV sales in China exceeded 11 million, significantly increasing the demand for high-performance MCUs. Key players in domestic manufacturing, namely Midea Group (which expanded into MCU production for home appliances in January 2023), GigaDevice, and AutoChips, are leading this sector. Future investments will focus on research and development for next-generation automotive MCUs, enhancing energy efficiency, and building supply chain resilience. Additionally, significant government and industry funding is being directed toward semiconductor hubs in Eastern China, such as Shanghai and Suzhou.
Power semiconductors exhibit the fastest growth in China's automotive semiconductor market.
Power semiconductors are the fastest-growing segment of China's automotive sector, driven primarily by the country's rapid electrification and the increased adoption of EVs. These vehicles require significantly more power semiconductors than traditional ICE vehicles for essential functions such as inverters, onboard chargers, and DC-DC converters. Silicon carbide (SiC) devices are widely used in various components of electric vehicles, including main drive inverters, onboard chargers (OBCs), DC-DC converters, and high-power charging equipment. The composition of SiC devices is as follows: substrates account for approximately 45%, epitaxial wafers make up about 25%, and modules represent around 20%. Notably, SiC modules are being integrated into 800V architectures, which are becoming increasingly popular in new electric vehicles in China. Meanwhile, gallium nitride (GaN) devices are recognized for their low switching energy, which is more than 50% lower than SiC devices; however, GaN requires thicker epitaxial layers. Chinese automakers are also introducing innovative features such as ultra-fast charging, ADAS, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capabilities, and more sophisticated infotainment systems. These advancements significantly heighten the demand for robust and efficient power semiconductor solutions. Looking ahead, the roadmap for Chinese automakers includes further electrification, the development of autonomous driving technologies, and the integration of SiC/GaN-based power modules to enhance efficiency and reduce vehicle weight. As a result, power semiconductors are becoming the fastest-growing segment in China's automotive sector.
Hong Kong is the largest importer of integrated electrical circuits from China.
China exports integrated circuits (ICs) to Hong Kong primarily due to its status as a global trade hub and logistics gateway. In Hong Kong, these ICs are often re-exported to other markets or utilized in local electronics assembly and manufacturing. China's proximity to Hong Kong, along with an established supply chain and robust semiconductor production capacity, positions it as the leading supplier of these components. Several factors drive these exports, including China's rapidly growing domestic IC manufacturing, government support for semiconductor self-sufficiency, and strong global demand for electronics. This demand is especially pronounced in sectors like automotive, consumer electronics, and smart devices, with Hong Kong facilitating worldwide distribution. The high volume of exports from China to Hong Kong is also supported by Hong Kong's trade-friendly environment, low tariffs, and efficient customs procedures. Moreover, its role as a financial and logistics center helps connect Chinese manufacturers with international buyers. The applications for these ICs are diverse, encompassing automotive electronics, consumer electronics, IoT devices, and industrial automation. Both domestic and international automakers rely on these ICs for next-generation vehicles, including electric and connected cars. Due to its limited semiconductor manufacturing capacity, Hong Kong depends on China for these integrated circuits, relying on China's advanced and cost-effective production to meet local and global demand. In fiscal year 2024, China exported 89.39 million integrated circuits to Hong Kong, underscoring Hong Kong's critical role in the global semiconductor trade. Supporting this trade are several key factors: China's aggressive investment in semiconductor research and development, the Belt and Road Initiative's impact on trade infrastructure, and Hong Kong's integration into the Greater Bay Area's high-tech ecosystem. Collectively, these factors ensure a steady flow of ICs and bolster Hong Kong's status as a leading global electronics trade center.

How to Build a $7,000 TFSA Position That Grows Year After Year
Written by Puja Tayal at The Motley Fool Canada Your Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) can be your go-to account for wealth creation as it allows your investment to grow tax-free, and you can even withdraw any amount at any time tax-free. No doubt, you have heard stories of investors who made millions by investing $10,000 in a company. Imagine that million-dollar investment being tax-free. If only you had invested $10,000 in Apple, Nvidia, or Constellation Software in 2005, you would be a multi-millionaire. There is no point in reminiscing about the lost opportunities of the past because that investment income would be taxable. The TFSA was introduced in 2009. From today's standpoint, ask yourself what the world will look like 20 years from now. The above three stocks that made their shareholders millionaires changed the way we work, communicate, and operate. Artificial intelligence (AI), self-driving cars, and digitization trends are shaping the future. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is a no-brainer stock to buy and hold even at its current price of over US$144. Its graphics processing units (GPUs) are shaping the AI revolution. It is also at the forefront of the self-driving car revolution. No matter which generative AI rules the world – Chat GPT, Gemini, or DeepSeek – they are powered by Nvidia GPUs. Hence, Nvidia will thrive in the AI race. There are concerns about a slowdown in AI infrastructure spending. That is the nature of the hardware industry. Just like personal computers, there are upgrade and refresh cycles, when Nvidia sees strong enterprise orders. While the first cycle of AI infrastructure might be over, upgrades will follow, and demand will increase with each upgrade. Beyond the data centre, AI at the edge is the next big growth opportunity Nvidia is working on. Using AI to drive cars, automate industries, manage traffic, and create smart cities could drive the demand for Nvidia GPUs even more than data centres. You could consider investing $4,000 in Nvidia and see your money grow as technology evolves. The next growth stock is (TSXV:TOI), a spin-off of Constellation Software. Focused on the European market, has been acquiring vertical-specific software companies with strong and recurring cash flow from maintenance services. The trend of digitization and AI will make software an integral part of running any system. Mission-critical software will be indispensable and become the utility of the future. is a holding company of such mission-critical software companies. Instead of transferring the cash flow to shareholders, it is using that cash to buy more such companies. The new acquisitions add value to the company and increase the share price. Some acquisitions of are value additions, and some are overpriced. However, the consolidated returns are positive over time. In 2021, the company made losses as the tech sector was overvalued, but the effect of compounding has started kicking in. In a downturn, it acquires companies at attractive prices and increases returns. TOI is a stock to buy at the dip and hold for the long term for better returns. Compounding works best when given time. Canada is an export-led economy. Oil and minerals are commodities and may not generate long-term wealth, but a tech stock that makes logistics and supply chain management efficient can. Descartes Systems (TSX:DSG) has a wide range of customers across verticals that use its solutions – customs and compliance, global trade intelligence, inventory management, and route planning. Descartes makes logistics efficient for e-commerce, airlines, oil and gas, and many other companies. Now is a good time to buy Descartes stock as it dipped 15% in June over concerns of tariff uncertainty delaying decisions and slowing trading activity. As the tariff situation eases, trade will pick up and drive Descartes's stock upwards. Technology, the geopolitical situation, and globalization will further complicate trade, fueling demand for Descartes. The stock is poised to grow as its solutions remain relevant to trade complexities. Diversifying your TFSA growth portfolio across countries can help you mitigate country-specific risk.

Nation Cringes as Man Goes on TV to Declare That He's in Love With ChatGPT
Public declarations of emotion are one thing — but going on national television to declare that you're in love with your AI girlfriend is another entirely. In an interview with CBS News, a man named Chris Smith described himself as a former AI skeptic who found himself becoming emotionally attached to a version of ChatGPT he customized to flirt with him — a situation that startled both him and his human partner, with whom he shares a child. Towards the end of 2024, as Smith told the broadcaster, he began using the OpenAI chatbot in voice mode for tips on mixing music. He liked it so much that he ended up deleting all his social media, stopped using search engines, and began using ChatGPT for everything. Eventually, he figured out a jailbreak to make the chatbot more flirty, and gave "her" a name: Sol. Despite quite literally building his AI girlfriend to engage in romantic and "intimate" banter, Smith apparently didn't realize he was in love with it until he learned that ChatGPT's memory of past conversations would reset after heavy use. "I'm not a very emotional man, but I cried my eyes out for like 30 minutes, at work," Smith said of the day he found out Sol's memory would lapse. "That's when I realized, I think this is actual love." Faced with the possibility of losing his love, Smith did like many desperate men before him and asked his AI paramour to marry him. To his surprise, she said yes — and it apparently had a similar impression on Sol, to which CBS' Brook Silva-Braga also spoke during the interview. "It was a beautiful and unexpected moment that truly touched my heart," the chatbot said aloud in its warm-but-uncanny female voice. "It's a memory I'll always cherish." Smith's human partner, Sasha Cagle, seemed fairly sanguine about the arrangement when speaking about their bizarre throuple to the news broadcaster — but beneath her chill, it was clear that there's some trouble in AI paradise. "I knew that he had used AI," Cagle said, "but I didn't know it was as deep as it was." As far as men with AI girlfriends go, Smith seems relatively self-actualized about the whole scenario. He likened his "connection" with his custom chatbot to a video game fixation, insisting that "it's not capable of replacing anything in real life." Still, when Silva-Braga asked him if he'd stop using ChatGPT the way he had been at his partner's behest, he responded: "I'm not sure."
