Facing increasingly strict environmental protection policies, the long-established PCB factory announced its shutdown.
On August 20, Da Xin Circuit Board (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Kinwong Chemical Group, issued a "Notice to Employees": Due to the impact of environmental policies and the urban development updates in Pingshan District, Shenzhen, Da Xin Circuit Board plans to cease operations and dissolve the entire factory by September 30, 2018. The dissolution of such a well-established and sizable circuit board company is quite lamentable.
It is reported that Da Xin Circuit Board (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. was established in 1993 and is one of the earlier PCB manufacturing enterprises invested in by Kinwong Chemical Group, which is one of the largest copper-clad laminate manufacturers in the world, alongside companies like Yilian Da, Kehui, and Jiangmen Rongxin.

Yangtze Memory successfully developed China's first 32-layer 3D NAND flash memory chip in 2017. According to Tsinghua Unigroup's co-president, Diao Shijing, the 32-layer 3D NAND flash memory chip from Yangtze Memory will enter mass production in the fourth quarter of this year, while its 64-layer 3D NAND...
STMicroelectronics MCU shortages have not improved in the first half of the year.
At the beginning of this year, NXP, a leader in automotive electronic chips, took the lead in raising prices for global microcontroller chips, announcing that it would increase prices across multiple product lines starting from the previous quarter, with an increase of 6% for MCUs. The market expects potential shortages to last the entire year. Since 2017, the delivery times for products from many global MCU manufacturers have extended from four months to six months, with Japanese MCU manufacturers rarely extending to nine months. According to reports from Taiwanese media, STMicroelectronics indicated a significant increase in demand for automotive electronics in the second half of last year, leading to severe product shortages, a situation also seen in other IDM manufacturers such as Texas Instruments, Renesas, and NXP.
On August 23, tariffs will be increased, and connectors will be the first to be affected.
According to the announcement from the Tariff Commission of the State Council regarding the imposition of tariffs on $50 billion worth of imported goods originating from the United States, the list of goods subject to additional tariffs has been adjusted, and the tariffs will be implemented starting from 12:01 PM on August 23, 2018. This also means that relevant imported products from the United States will be subject to a 25% tariff. This is the first category of electronic components affected by the additional tariffs. Previously, the import tariff rate for connectors was 0%. It is understood that the brands of the relevant connectors include 3M, MOLEX, TE, TYCO, and AMPHENOL.
20 million batteries/ICs, 300,000 tons of waste metal, and over 30 graveyards, the wave of shared bicycles being scrapped is about to arrive.
During the peak period of the shared bicycle industry, there were over 70 brands nationwide. As the industry accelerated its consolidation, more than 60 brands successively withdrew from the market, resulting in a situation where Mobike, Hello Bike, and ofo formed a triad. According to data from the China Bicycle Association, in 2016, a total of 2 million shared bicycles were deployed across 30 cities in the country. The "China Shared Bicycle Industry Development Report (2018)" jointly released by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology and the Mobike Policy Research Institute shows that in 2017, 23 million new bicycles were deployed in 200 cities nationwide. From the above data, it can be inferred that at least 25 million shared bicycles were introduced within two years.
