BEIJING: China on Wednesday (May 14) handed a suspended death sentence to the former head of a major state-owned maker of high-end semiconductors, state media reported. Zhao Weiguo, the former chairman of semiconductor titan Tsinghua Unigroup, came under official investigation in 2022 and was formally accused of graft the following year.
