It is reported that next year the south Korean government will cut the budget for research and development of semiconductor and display, by contrast, the Chinese government is strengthening the support in this area, and accelerate the process of global mergers and acquisitions. China's semiconductor and shows that the business is thriving.

According to 14, according to South Korea in 2016, the government budget, original technology of electronic information equipment industry development is not the final budget cuts of $45.6 million. Although the industry is widely expected to budget will increase, but in the end, the south Korean national assembly budget and finance committee after agreement, cutting $7.24 million.

This field of research and development budget in 2012 was $112 million, $106 million in 2013. Starting in 2014 fell to $90.5 million, $2015 in 80.3 million. In 2016 dropped by about half, at $46.3 million. The budget in the field of semiconductor declined from $47.3 million to $2016 in 30 million, according to industry's budget from $2015 in 16.4 million to $2016 in 7.84 million, LED in the field of optical budget in 2015 from $14.9 million to $2016 in 7.59 million.

Since 2009, the electronic information equipment business as South Korea's main business, continued the including semiconductor, display, LED, mainly the development of technology. For this field of research and development budget cuts once caused the dispute in the south Korean parliament. Colleges and research institutes in the field of semiconductor display fear will reduce college r&d human resources.

China to start investing in South Korea before 10.5 generation of LCD. With the support of the Chinese government, its semiconductor companies bought major semiconductor companies in the United States, such as fairchild semiconductor, etc.
