One of the hardest-hit sectors is the chip industry. Can it survive this storm? Our correspondent Ge Yunfei finds out, in South China's Guangzhou.Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Communication, Rockets. Behind each of these cutting-edge technologies, there is one core component - FPGA, a semiconductor integrated circuit.ZHU JINGHUI CEO, GOWIN SEMICONDUCTOR "Theoretically, FPGA can deliver all the functionality of other chips like CPU. If you can design FPGA, then you can design all the other chips. So we can say that FPGA is the 'Crown Jewel' in semiconductor chip design."In 2016, two US companies held almost 90% of the global market share for this advanced tech -- and early this year, when the US banned Chinese telecom giant ZTE from buying American tech products, FPGA chips were on that list.B...
