In 2018, the United States launched a "science and technology war" and a "** war" against China in an attempt to block China's development. In response, Biden signed the "Chips Act", hoping to hit China's chip industry. However, this bill has made Biden a complete failure.
Biden sees the CHIPS Act as an important means of reviving the U.S. chip industry. He hopes to achieve the return of advanced manufacturing and semiconductor industries by restricting the technology and production capacity of TSMC, Samsung, Intel and other semiconductor companies to China's leading advanced chips and mature chips, and attracting these companies to build factories in the United States through high subsidies.
However, Biden's gamble did not pay off as expected. First, TSMC postponed mass production plans for its new factory in Arizona due to a shortage of construction workers and equipment installation technicians. In fact, this is just an excuse for TSMC, and the real reason is that the United States has revised the subsidy rules to require TSMC to provide a list of customers and technical secrets in order to enjoy the subsidy. TSMC believes that such a provision is unacceptable, so it can only delay the construction period.
Recently, Samsung also announced that it would postpone the mass production plan of its semiconductor factory in the United States, also because of the subsidy issue. In addition, there are obvious differences in the attitude of the United States towards TSMC, Samsung and Intel, which makes the South Korean people dissatisfied with Samsung's construction of factories in the United States. As early as last year, South Korea pointed out that the purpose of the United States asking TSMC and Samsung to build factories was to obtain confidential data and hand it over to Intel, the "own son" of the United States. Biden's conspiracy was gradually revealed: to attract TSMC and Samsung to build factories in the United States through high subsidies, obtain core technology secrets, and then hand over the core technology to Intel, and provide a lot of funds and customer resources to help Intel catch up with TSMC and Samsung, and finally build a semiconductor industry chain with pure American technology.
Biden's bargaining chips have been completely lost, and TSMC and Samsung have also postponed mass production plans to **, apparently unwilling to let Biden use this as a political achievement for re-election. Biden has not only lost his bargaining chips, but is also facing the fact of China's rise in the high-tech sector.
The rise of Chinese tech companies is putting enormous pressure on the United States. Huawei is a typical example of this. Huawei's Mate60 and Nova 12 series mobile phones equipped with Kirin 9000S chips have formed a trend of encirclement and suppression against Apple and Qualcomm. This has put downward pressure on Apple's sales, and the Chinese market is no longer a place for it to lie down and make money.
In addition, Huawei is also beginning to catch up with the United States in the fields of new energy vehicles, artificial intelligence large models and artificial intelligence chips. China has made great breakthroughs in technological innovation and R&D, and has become an important force in global scientific and technological development.
Biden's defeat is a mess. He tried to block the development of China's chip industry through the "Chips Act", but ultimately failed. TSMC and Samsung have successively postponed mass production plans and refused to become tools of the United States. At the same time, the rise of Chinese technology companies has put enormous pressure on the United States, with companies such as Huawei beginning to catch up with the United States in many areas.
From Biden's experience, it can be seen that the development of economy and science and technology is an important manifestation of a country's comprehensive strength. Only by continuously promoting scientific and technological innovation can we remain invincible in the global scientific and technological competition. As a self-editor, I deeply feel the importance of technology to a country. Whether it is a company or an enterprise, we should increase support and investment in science and technology, strive to promote the development of science and technology, and contribute to the prosperity of the country.
