The development of our artificial intelligence can't just develop a partial head or a partial body. It must develop to our hands and feet, our toes, which is the close cooperation between the two sides of the strait, the same language, the same culture, and the same emotion. With the same ancestors, cooperation is the greatest, and it will become the greatest force in the world. Cooperation is necessary.
[Explanation] Taiwanese compatriot Chen Mengbang, who is engaged in the design and production of integrated circuits, came to Pingtan, Fujian to start a business in 2015 and led the establishment of a technology company. In 2016, the company's revenue was more than 9 million yuan, and by 2018 it reached more than 28 million yuan. This year It is expected to exceed RMB 70 million, and the speed of enterprise development is beyond Chen Mengbang’s own imagination.

There are so many Taiwanese who are making semiconductors and integrated circuits, and the mainland needs so many integrated circuit talents, because you (chip self-sufficiency rate) must increase to 70%, and how many factories you have to build, you have to design How many chips, in fact, this thing is actually a family on both sides of the strait, brothers, so we should cooperate to eat this pie, in fact, because the entire global market value of the industry is more than 400 billion, maybe that is, more than 400 billion US dollars, then this year It may reach more than 500 billion. The Chinese people on both sides of the strait should cooperate with such a big cake to eat this cake together.
