CHINA PRESS: China must acquire critical advanced technologies such as

semiconductors so that other countries wont' be able to blunt its rise, the

official People's Daily said in a commentary. 

- China must be determined to make break-through in core innovations; it may

also import some technology and seek to advance it, the daily said. 

***Comment: After the U.S. banned selling equipment including chips to Chinese

mobile phone maker ZTE, causing the company to halt production, China recently

iterated the importance of innovation and producing its own technological

components such as chips.
