    More than 10 chip plants are being built, each costing millions of US dollars. The majority of that money goes to overseas equipment【C12】______and technology owners—mainly【C13】______Japan and Singapore.
    Should the new center play a major role in improving the situation in the industry, the country admits the US $14 million investment is still rather small. This country is developing【C14】______technologies. Most of the investment will be spent on setting【C15】______with technology and intellectual property owners.
