Customs deputy director Wang Jun said at a state briefing on Oct. 14 that China’s industrial base and tech capacity are bolstering supply to meet rising global computing and power demand. In the first three quarters exports of integrated circuits rose 99.1% YoY; computer parts and accessories increased 2.1-fold; storage components including solid-state drives rose 1.3-fold, helping maintain stable supply of intermediate components in the global compute chain. Exports of servers and data‑processing equipment rose 7.2%, supporting global compute infrastructure. On the power side, first‑three‑quarters exports showed gains in photovoltaic products (+10.3%), wind turbines and parts (+22.4%), power cables (+28.1%), transformers (+22.5%) and various storage batteries (+34.8%); products were shipped to more than 200 countries and regions.
