| Beijing will turn itself a micro-electronic base in
10 years time, said Beijing vice-mayor Liu Haiyan at an international
seminar on micro-electronics in Beijing Thursday.
According to a blueprint, the micro-electronic base will consist
of two parts: research and development (R&D) of micro-electronic
technology, and the production of integrate circuits.
Beijing aims to make the R&D base of micro-electronic technology
a national R&D center that can keep up international advancement.
Beijing will build 20 production lines producing the integrate
circuits.
The vice-major in charge of industries welcomed foreign investment
in accomplishing the task.
Beijing is a leading city in developing software products related
to micro-electronics and Internet technology in China. It is also
home to the most researchers and professionals in the country as
it contains China's "Silicon Valley", in Zhongguancun.
