Against this backdrop, research on the resilience of China\u2019s chip industrial chain is of great significance to improve the survival and recovery ability of the chip industry under extreme conditions. Therefore, this study uses the system dynamics method to build a simulation model for the resilience of China\u2019s chip industry. The model examines four regulatory scenarios: enhancing R&amp;D intensity, elevating innovation development, promoting resource recycling and utilization, and expanding the depth of policy promotion. The simulation results of China\u2019s chip industrial chain from 2014 to 2024 show the following: First, the resilience level of China\u2019s chip industrial chain initially decreases but then subsequently increases. Second, all four regulatory scenarios improve the simulated resilience value of the industrial chain to varying degrees. Among them, the regulatory scenario of elevating innovation development has the most pronounced effect. However, while the improvement from promoting resource recycling and utilization is relatively limited, it helps to continuously improve the safety level of the chip industrial chain. Third, moderately increasing the total intensity of R&amp;D and expanding the depth of policy promotion are conducive to regulation of the current chip industrial chain\u2019s elasticity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems14020166","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,4]],"date-time":"2026-02-04T09:02:01Z","timestamp":1770195721000},"page":"166","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Improvement Strategies for China\u2019s Chip Industrial Chain Resilience Under Global Competition: A System Dynamics Model"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Jian","family":"Hu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management, Chongqing University of Technology, Chongqing 400054, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bengang","family":"Kou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management, Chongqing University of Technology, Chongqing 400054, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6912-8959","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jinhua","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management, Chongqing University of Technology, Chongqing 400054, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dan","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management, Chongqing University of Technology, Chongqing 400054, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"100","article-title":"The competition and challenges between China and the United States in basic research on key technologies","volume":"43","author":"Gu","year":"2025","journal-title":"Sci.
