The world's largest chip-maker Intel is to invest another US$300 million in China, to expand its chip packaging and testing plant in Pudong, Shanghai, the company announced in Shanghai on Thursday.
The packaging and testing facility is Intel's first production base in China which became operational in 1998. The plant is located in the Pudong Development Zone in east Shanghai.
