I don't believe any company would invest wafer fab in China.

Reason: head technology is in the wafer! I don't believe any company would invest in a country where there is not a strong intellectual property protection policy.

As for 8" wafer. It is expensive to retool for new wafer size. The improvements are how many sliders per wafer. (nano to pico and pico to ?)

Happy Investing
