Chip maker chief: China will top industry The head of the world's largest contract chip maker predicted Wednesday that China will be the next giant in the semiconductor industry and that the country would take business from semiconductor makers elsewhere. ``The importance of China as a market, in design, and as a manufacturing location, cannot be denied,'' Morris Chang, chairman of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, said.
