One year after CSET first published an analysis of China’s progress in the global semiconductor manufacturing equipment market, we provide a new analysis based on updated 2025 data. We find that Chinese toolmakers continue to steadily gain market share in fabrication tools, particularly in ion implanters, deposition, and etch and clean tools. Lithography remains one of China’s weakest fabrication segments. At the same time, China lost some market share in all major assembly, test, and packaging tool categories.

CSET’s Helen Toner spoke with CNN's Bianna Golodryga about Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s call for AI companies to slow model development amid growing concerns over the potential misuse of increasingly powerful AI systems.

CSET’s Kathleen Curlee and Sam Bresnick shared their expert analysis in an op-ed published by Nikkei Asia. The article argues that China’s progress in reusable rocket technology could lower the cost of deploying massive satellite constellations, strengthening its ability to compete with U.S. companies in the global satellite communications market.
