As the U.S. puts pressure on China's technology sector, Beijing is looking to boost its homegrown semiconductor industry. But its reliance on foreign tech creates big challenges.

China has been trying to ramp up its domestic semiconductor industry as the U.S. increases the pressure on the country's technology giants.

One factor potentially in China's favor is that it has a very big market, in terms of both a large population and a vast number of devices. But Beijing will face significant challenges strengthening its homegrown chip sector, analysts told CNBC. However, China is also facing a situation where its companies' access to important chip components, as well as its domestic chipmakers' ability to procure technology to make those semiconductors, might be hampered.
