Electronics' sector needs help

The success of Tianhe-2 shows that China has the technological expertise to do what it decides to.

It is also good to know that China occupies one of the top positions when it comes to supercomputers. But at the same time, it's matter of concern that their core processors are made in the United States. In fact, many core components of electronic gadgets made in China come from the US.

Therefore, efforts have to be made to manufacture such components in China, for which China's electronics industry needs the government's support to drastically improve its electronics' component manufacturing capability and capacity.
