Commentary: China moves step forward to developing DRAM technology with ISSI buyout

China imports up to US$200 billion worth of chips a year, an amount which is higher than comparable figures for imports of crude oil and raw materials. Since memory chips account for a high portion of its total IC imports, it offers a good reason for China-based Summitview Capital and other investors to acquire US-based DRAM design company Integrated Silicon Solution (ISSI). More essentially, the deal will fulfill China's long-term goal to build up technology related to memory chip production.
