China's SMIC says Trump tariffs did not cause expected 'hard landing'

BEIJING (Reuters) -China's top foundry SMIC's co-CEO said on Friday that U.S. tariff policy had not resulted in the "hard landing" that the company was initially worried about and that strong domestic demand will keep its production capacity tight until October. Zhao Haijun, co-CEO of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC), told a post-earnings call that the company is not consulting with customers regarding U.S. President Donald Trump's 100% tariff plan on chip imports but expects the impact could be smaller due to contingency plans that had been made after tariffs were announced in April.
