China’s tech self-reliance efforts have seen a significant boost as leading semiconductor designer Hygon Information Technology and supercomputer maker Sugon reported substantial revenue growth in 2025. The surge reflects a broader trend of increasing support for domestic technology suppliers, driven by heightened demand for homegrown computing systems amid China's AI boom.
Hygon, a key player in China’s tech sector, achieved remarkable financial success with its revenue jumping to 14.4 billion yuan (US$2.1 billion) in 2025—a 56.9% increase from the previous year. This growth was fueled by strong demand for domestically produced high-end chips, a market where Hygon has expanded its share through strategic partnerships with original equipment manufacturers. The company’s profit also rose to 2.54 billion yuan
