signal brief

Prediction markets indicate a 55.85% probability that Liang Mong-Song, a key SMIC engineer, will leave the company within five years (Source 5). This is corroborated by low probabilities for SMIC's technological competitiveness: only 4.61% chance of outcompeting TSMC by 2024 (Source 1), 15.39% by 2028 (Source 3), and 18.80% by 2033 (Source 2). Additionally, SMIC's chance of achieving 3nm by 2026 is only 11% (Source 4). While these are speculative probabilities, they collectively signal weak market confidence in SMIC's ability to retain top talent and close the technology gap with TSMC. A potential departure of Liang Mong-Song would severely hamper SMIC's advanced process development, likely benefiting TSMC in the foundry market.
