Aug 4 — Jiangsu provincial government held a '6+6' industry meeting on
high-quality development of integrated circuits. The province instructed

talent and establish an IC talent hub. The meeting also directed tiered,
targeted support to expand leading enterprises and segmental benchmark firms to
lift overall industry capability.
