Wuhan Q1-Q3 IC wafers output up 36.8%, tablets up 33.0%

The standout figure is the 98.2% jump in computer and communications equipment manufacturing, which dwarfs the wafer and tablet gains and suggests the demand pull is concentrated in downstream electronics assembly rather than evenly spread across the chip chain. Wuhan's acceleration from the first half also implies momentum built through the period rather than a front-loaded burst. For RWA and supply-chain watchers, the question is whether this pace reflects genuine end-demand or inventory rebuilding ahead of tariff and export-control shifts — and whether the city-level statistics hold up once national data land.
