this stock has dropped more than 50% from its peak at 44 and I think that it will play a central role in the years to come , especially in the 5G space for China. Due to the constant suppression by US on Huawei and many countries are in some way, afraid to offend the big brother, they have no choice but to play puppet along the way......
Huawei will then have to switch more of its supplies to local chips manufacturer and while SMIC lags behind the technology, I believe the Chinese government will pump money in this sector. They are currently the leader in 5G technology and it makes business sense to invest in a sector that can propel China forward into the international markets and especially not over reliant on US. Regardless of who wins the election, China is well aware the tension will at most be reduced temporarily before it flare up again. That is why the focus from schools to private companies , 5G technology, cloud computing, Live Commerce, IOT, AI, Big Data will set the trend moving forward for China.
