Huawei Technologies Co. is close to finishing the construction of a chip research and development center in Shanghai, in a move that’s likely to advance China’s technological ambitions even as the US tries to halt its rise.
The park, which will be Huawei’s largest research center globally, will house about 30,000 personnel, according to statements on the Shanghai government’s website. The site in Qingpu district covers 1.6 million square meters and has its own road network, a small railway system and elevated bridges which are already in place, the release said.
