SHANGHAI -- China's hope for competing with such leading global chipmakers as Samsung Electronics and Micron Technology said production of advanced memory chips remains on track despite a trade war with the U.S. that has hurt its peers.

"The company's production is on schedule," Chen Wei-Hua, co-chief technology officer of state-backed Yangtze Memory Technologies, told the Nikkei Asian Review on Wednesday on the sidelines of Semicon China trade show.
