As chipmakers pare back expansion plans, there's one place where new chip plants are still sprouting: China.

Taiwan's already the world leader in chip contract manufacturers, or foundries. Now mainland China wants a piece of the action.

U.S. companies are spending billions to set up chip foundries there -- attracted to the cheap labor and proximity to so many potential customers.

"China is a huge market," said Sohrab Kianian, director of business development at Silicon Storage Technology Inc. The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based flash chipmaker plans to invest $60 million in China this year.

"PCs, consumer electronics and wireless products are all being outsourced for manufacture in China," Kianian said.
