Top chip designer Sun Nan leaves US and finds 'room to play' in China

Tsinghua University chip expert Sun Nan's return to China went largely unnoticed in the wave of Chinese scientists returning from abroad - that is, until last week, when the prestigious university in Beijing put a social media spotlight on the professor who has helped create more than 50 cutting-edge chips in a little over four years.
Sun Nan, a prominent chip designer who previously worked at Broadcom, has returned to China to lead the development of advanced chips at the state-backed China Innovation Center for Integrated Circuits (CICIC). His move comes amidst a backdrop of increasing U.S. restrictions on technology exports to China, which has spurred a talent migration back to China. Sun's expertise in designing high-speed data center chips is now being utilized to help China reduce its dependency on foreign technology, particularly in the realm of semiconductors. His return is part of a broader strategy to bolster China's domestic semiconductor industry, aiming to achieve technological self-sufficiency and compete globally in the tech sector. This shift is seen as both a challenge to U.S. tech dominance and an opportunity for China to innovate independently.
