The country that poses the greatest threat to South Korea's thriving semiconductor industry is none other than China. This is according to Kwon Seok-jun, a professor of chemical engineering at Sungkyunkwan University and author of the book "China Semiconductor Rising." Professor Kwon predicted that the Chinese government will not allow semiconductor companies like CXMT to fail, suggesting that a chicken game against these "too big to fail" firms lies ahead for Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. In this episode of the SBS YouTube series "Discovery of Knowledge," we explore the semiconductor landscape, focusing on South Korea, China, and Japan.
