Yu launched two companies near Beijing – Xtal and Dongfang – with the hope that they would compete against foreign semiconductor giants, while taking advantage of China’s new policy on chipmaking. But soon afterwards he ran into trouble with his government; eventually being ordered out as CEO of Xtal in 2019. This decision dealt a severe blow to China’s semiconductor ambitions as Yu had fostered strong ties to Chinese Communist Party members while raising millions for his two companies, even appearing on reviewing stands during military parades commemorating China’s anniversary – something usually reserved only for elites; in addition he has received significant government funds over time.
