Chinese Chipmaker CXMT Completes Record IPO, Reflecting State-Backed Tech Growth
ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT), a Chinese memory-chip maker founded in 2016, recently completed a record-breaking IPO on Shanghai's STAR Market, raising 57.9 billion yuan and reaching a valuation of 3.3 trillion yuan. The company, backed by significant state investment under President Xi Jinping's strategy to develop high-tech industries, has become China's most valuable mainland-listed firm. CXMT's rise reflects China's push to build a domestic semiconductor industry amid global AI demand and geopolitical scrutiny, with its founder Zhu Yiming becoming a billionaire after years of reinvestment and no salary.
