HiSilicon, Huawei's semiconductor arm, became the first Chinese mainland company to enter the Top 10 global chip rankings, taking the 10th position in the first quarter of 2020, according to market research company IC Insights.
HiSilicon moved up by five places to the 10th position in just a year, market research company IC Insights said in its latest report.
Data from the IC Insights show that HiSilicon represented 14 percent of TSMC's sales last year, up from holding only a 5-percent share in 2017.
More than 600 shops will shut by next year in the four districts, a gloomy prospect that could drag retail rental charges down by as much as 30 percent, back to a level only seen a decade ago, according to the latest forecast from real estate agency Midland IC&I.
Some 102 shops, out of a total of 1,087, were shut in the district in August, representing a vacancy rate of 9.4 percent, as data released by Midland IC&I on Sep 17 showed.
The vacancy rate in Causeway Bay is likely to climb to 11 percent next year, putting hundreds of workers out of work, as "the current chaotic situation is even worse than the 2003 SARS epidemic", warned Tony Lo, director of Midland IC&I.
The report cited data from IC Insight gathered between 2013 and Dec 31, 2018.
Naura Technology Group Co, an integrated circuit (IC) producer of China, said Saturday that its net profits were well up in the first quarter.
