Prediction markets indicate a very low probability that SMIC will outcompete TSMC in semiconductor manufacturing by 2024 (4.6%), 2028 (15.4%), or 2033 (18.8%) (Source 1, Source 2, Source 3). Additionally, the probability that key engineer Liang Mong-Song leaves SMIC within five years stands at 55.85% (Source 5). These consensus signals suggest sustained competitive pressure from TSMC and material talent-retention risk for SMIC, potentially slowing its advanced-node progress.
