China promotes smaller Han Xin code for semiconductor use
China is promoting a miniaturised version of its Han Xin code for use in semiconductors, seeking a stronger foothold for a domestic standard in global industrial supply chains. The market regulator says the “Micro Han Xin” code has entered formal international standardisation, according to the South China Morning Post.
China is seeking to expand the use of its Han Xin code by promoting a smaller version for semiconductor applications, the South China Morning Post reports. The initiative centres on “Micro Han Xin”, a miniaturised version of the code developed in 2007. China’s State Administration for Market Regulation said on Monday that the new version had entered formal international standardisation.
The move is part of Beijing’s longer-running effort to establish home-grown standards in global industrial supply chains, according to the report. The supplied material does not specify the standardisation body involved, the proposed technical specifications or the companies expected to adopt the code. It also does not say whether the micro version has already been deployed commercially.
The initiative nevertheless marks an attempt to apply a Chinese-developed coding system to the semiconductor industry and gain wider recognition for it.
