China still benefits from enormous cost advantages and shows the greatest potential to become a major semiconductor power. Moreover, Shanghai has strong industrial infrastructure and location advantage, which historically have played a prominent city in supporting the national strategic industry. By adopting a historical perspective, this paper interprets the development of the semiconductor industry in Shanghai. Additionally, the interviews give us more flexibility and richer contextual information about the issues discussed.

However, international political and economic structures and domestic structural context both affect each phase of semiconductor industry in Shanghai. This paper contains five chapters.
