From chip makers to car cos, global firms flocking to Gujarat: Officials

Though Gujarat has only about six per cent of India's geographical area and nearly five per cent of the population, the state has become an engine of the country's development with world-renowned firms coming here for business, according to officials. As per the official website of the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit (VGGS), the state has over 200 industrial estates with close to 100 private industrial parks. The 10th edition of VGGS, the state's biennial investors' meet, is scheduled to be held next month in the capital Gandhinagar. To further strengthen sector-specific investments and infrastructure, the state has also announced several sector-specific industrial parks, said the website. I have always said that the development of the country depends on the development of Gujarat. The world's largest multinational companies, including 100-plus Fortune 500 global companies, are operating in the state. These include Suzuki, Honda, Hitachi, Toyota, and many more" said Prime Minister ..

China defends ban on Micron, accuses Washington of 'economic coercion'

The Chinese government on Wednesday defended its ban on products from US memory chipmaker Micron Technology Inc. in some computer systems after Washington expressed concern, adding to strains over technology and security. The security review of Micron products was conducted in accordance with the law," said a foreign ministry spokesperson, Mao Ning. The Cyberspace Administration of China on Sunday said Micron products have unspecified security risks but gave no details. It banned them from computers that handle sensitive information. That came after Washington, Japan and the Netherlands blocked Chinese access to technology to make advanced processor chips on security grounds at a time when the ruling Communist Party is threatening to attack Taiwan and is more assertive toward its other Asian neighbours. China's cybersecurity review does not target specific countries or regions, Mao said. We do not exclude technologies and products from any country. Companies on both sides have bee

Germany blocks Chinese-owned firm's chip factory 85 mn euro deal

The German government on Wednesday blocked the sale of a chip factory to a Swedish subsidiary of a Chinese company, a decision that comes as Berlin grapples with its future approach to Beijing. The move by the Cabinet follows a recent compromise over a Chinese shipping firm's investment in a German container terminal and a visit to Beijing last week by Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The blocked sale was anticipated after German company Elmos said this week that it had been informed the sale of its chip factory in Dortmund to Silex Microsystems AB of Sweden would likely be prohibited. Silex is owned by Sai Microelectronics of China, according to German media. The planned 85 million-euro (dollar) sale was announced in December. Although the proposed deal wasn't very significant financially and the technology involved apparently wasn't new, it had raised concerns over the wisdom of putting German IT production capacity in Chinese hands. Western governments are increasingly wary about China'
