Designed in China. The next big thing?
 China's emergence as a 'next Silicon Valley' had many flavors at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this week. There, companies like Huawei, Haier, Lenovo and scores of other home-grown Chinese brands touted new mobile phones, tablet PCs, smart TVs and other gadgets for the growing global consumer electronics sector.
The China tech story is not just about the mass manufacturing and mass marketing of consumer electronics devices. In China today, design engineers are at the forefront of an important technology trend as the electronics sector there gravitate toward the fabless semiconductor design model.
To learn more about this trend, The Next Silicon Valley interviewed Peter Clarke, European News Director of EE Times in the UK this week. Clarke, who has been writing about electronics since 1984, is an authority on both the business and the technology of the global semiconductor industry. He's also co-author of the EE Times Confidential China Fabless Profile, an insightful, in-depth analysis of the fabless chip design ecosystems now forming up in China.
In the interview Clarke's insight puts new and ongoing developments in the China fabless sector into a timely, global perspective. His analysis examines the 'hot pursuit' business models that are reshapping China's rising profile in the consumer electronics sector.
He explains why Android is a big player in China, and globally, and he explains how this open standard has has paved the way for a new wave of products and designs, from China and how it is reshapping the entire global semiconductor landscape. Finally, he recommends guidelines for companies looking at potential fabless design partnerships in China.
