The decisive battle has officially begun! Japan banned China, and China quickly counterattacked
Because the United States has been trying to prevent the development of China's science and technology, especially in the past two years, the blockade of China's semiconductor field, cutting off TSMC's chip foundry services, and its establishment"Chip Quadripartite Alliance"and the tripartite agreement reached this year between the United States, Japan and the Netherlands, which are all restrictive measures made by the United States to prevent China's technological development.
In fact, the scientific and technological competition between China and the United States has lasted for more than 20 years, although the United States started early in the field of industry and science and technology, and mastered many core semiconductor technologies, but gradually lost its competitive advantage in other emerging fields, such as 5G, photovoltaics, etc. It is precisely because China has caught up with or surpassed the United States in many scientific and technological fields that the United States is more afraid of the rise of Chinese science and technology.
It is worth noting that in order to prevent the development of China's science and technology, the United States not only prohibits American technology companies from exporting advanced semiconductor equipment and wafers to China, but also woos Japan, the Netherlands, and so on"Little brother"jointly obstruct the development of China's semiconductor industry and try to transfer China's wafers"Locked"！"On the 14nm process.
However, on the positive side, after feeling the pain of the cervical spine, many Chinese companies have begun to recognize the reality, and have given up their dependence on imported wafers and semiconductor equipment from the United States, and have begun to accelerate the creation of a complete one"Descalping"Many Chinese companies have joined the ranks of independent research and development to reduce their dependence on the United States! Many Chinese companies have joined the ranks of self-research and taken the road of independent research and development to reduce their dependence on American companies!
However, I never expected that at the stage of fierce technological competition between China and the United States, Japan suddenly announced a ban on China: on July 23, the export control of semiconductor equipment and some chips in the Chinese market will begin, involving 23 indispensable semiconductor equipment and chips such as lithography machines and photoresists, which also means that the Sino-Japanese semiconductor battle has begun.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted wide attention in the industry. You must know that the U.S. regulations on wafers have been repeatedly changed, and the restrictions on Chinese wafers have only reached 14 nanometers and next-generation processing technology. And the scope of restrictions announced by Japan directly covers the 45nm process, and it can be said that Japan's ban on China is more cruel than that of the United States!
However, in the face of the comprehensive blockade of China's semiconductor field by the United States and Japan, China did not retreat, but increased the research and development of independent chips, began to vigorously develop and improve the domestic semiconductor industry, and also adopted a series of countermeasures.
First, a security analysis was conducted on the American tablet giant Micron to protect the security of the network and national infrastructure. After the analysis, the Cyberspace Administration of China officially announced that the U.S. products did not pass the safety analysis and banned the purchase of Micron products.
In addition, after Japan announced a ban on China, China began to restrict the export of rare earths, which are indispensable raw materials for the manufacture of semiconductors. China controls about 70% of the world's rare earth resources, and China's rare earth smelting technology is also the world's first"Doom"。Some foreign countries say that China has begun to settle accounts!
In fact, China's security review of Micron, on the one hand, may be that Micron is illegal, and on the other hand, it also shows that China has made technological progress in the field of memory chips and can be independent. Restricting the export of rare earths to Japan is also a powerful countermeasure to Japan's ban on the export of 23 kinds of semiconductor equipment to China.
In other words, China is the world's largest semiconductor consumer market, although it still needs to rely on imports in many fields, but in the most critical semiconductor fields, especially mature chip processes such as 28 nanometers, it has achieved self-sufficiency to a large extent. In addition, China has mastered a variety of raw materials required for semiconductor manufacturing, and firmly believes that as long as we increase independent research and development efforts, concentrate on talent training, and control resources, we will be able to reach a higher level in the semiconductor field in the future.
In any case, following the semiconductor competition in the United States, the semiconductor competition between China and Japan has also begun, in this regard, we only adhere to independent research and development, increase the research of basic technology, is the road to the rise of China's science and technology. As long as you practice the basic technology and master it in your own hands, you can be invincible in the future competition in the field of science and technology!
