China had around 33% self-sufficiency in 2024, so 80% by 2030 is ambitious.
An earlier plan called Made in China 2025 aimed for 70% by 2025 but fell well short.
As well as 80% self-sufficiency, the new plan has set a 2030 goal for having built and tested a 7nm production line using entirely domestically produced equipment.
