Multiple Manifold prediction markets (e.g., Will SMIC outcompete TSMC by 2033? at 18.8% YES, by 2024? at 4.6%, by 2028?...

Multiple Manifold prediction markets (e.g., Will SMIC outcompete TSMC by 2033? at 18.8% YES, by 2024? at 4.6%, by 2028? at 15.4%) indicate low market conviction that SMIC will surpass TSMC in advanced manufacturing. Additionally, the probability of Liang Mong-Song, SMIC's key technology executive, leaving within 5 years is 55.85% (source). This suggests potential talent flight and technological stagnation for SMIC, which is a negative signal for its competitive position in semiconductor manufacturing. For AI-infra supply chain, a weaker SMIC reduces alternative foundry options for Chinese AI chips, potentially tightening capacity and benefiting TSMC.
