Portfolio Pulse from AJ Fabino
China is reviving its 'Thousand Talents Plan' (TTP) under a new name, Qiming, to attract top scientists and accelerate its semiconductor industry. This move comes in response to stricter U.S. export controls. The program offers substantial signing bonuses and other incentives. Major industry players like Nvidia Corp, Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. Ltd., and Micron Technology Inc have already adjusted their strategies in response to U.S. regulations. The broader semiconductor sector, represented by iShares Semiconductor ETF, Invesco PHLX Semiconductor ETF, and VanEck Semiconductor ETF, could also be impacted.
