CanSemi Semiconductor Lists on ChiNext as First Wafer Foundry

The listing gives China's domestic capital markets a pure-play foundry exposure that has been largely absent, and the automotive angle is the sharper signal: GAC Capital's thesis frames wafer capacity as an auto-supply-chain security question, not a consumer-electronics one. Silicon photonics on 12-inch wafers is the differentiated piece, though it remains a niche relative to mainstream logic. The open question is whether public-market funding accelerates capacity buildout or simply rewards an early mover in a capital-intensive segment where utilization, not listing status, determines viability.
