Samsung and SK Hynix accelerate expansion in China

Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are stepping up capital spending at their China facilities to upgrade chip processes and lift output.

South Korean media say Samsung sharply increased investment at its Xi’an plant last year.

The companies are using China-based capacity to help ease a global memory chip shortage fueled by AI demand.

The moves highlight how leading memory makers are expanding overseas production to capture demand and relieve supply constraints.
