Foreign media China began to calculate accounts
Although the development history of the United States is only a short 200 years, it has been able to dominate the world for several decades, not by freedom and fair competition in the field of science and technology, but by not stressing military ethics"Rogues"Means!For example, after the end of World War II, in order to speed up the development of its own science and technology, thousands of German scientists were forcibly detained to conduct their own scientific research in Germany. There is also the suppression of the Japanese semiconductor industry in the 80s of the last century, taking Japan's advanced technology into its own hands, and at the same time seizing the market share of Japanese companies.
Now, with the rise of China's science and technology, the United States wants to hegemon"**"Technology companies such as Huawei, which reach out to China. Repeatedly changing wafer rules and inducing allies to prevent the development of Chinese technology, especially in the field of semiconductor wafers!
The Kirin chip developed by Huawei itself, because the United States has changed the rules on chips, is completely invalid, and the EUV lithography machine obtained by SMIC from ASML has not been able to arrive because of the ban, which means that SMIC can only use the 14nm process to manufacture chips, although it has mastered more advanced process technologies such as 7nm, but because there is no EUV lithography machine, it can only be stuck in the planning stage.
Although the United States has taken"Jack-of-all-trades"Chinese companies such as Huawei and SMIC have been hit hard, but technology giants such as Qualcomm, Nvidia and Intel in the United States have also suffered heavy setbacks. Last year alone, the market value of the U.S. semiconductor chip industry declined.1 Obviously, China, as the world's largest semiconductor consumer market, is an indispensable part of the global semiconductor industry chain, and the United States has taken the initiative to meet the Chinese market"Decoupling and chain breaking"The act is to lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot!
However, the United States did not stop it"Rogues"behavior, but began to press step by step. It not only attracted Japan, the Netherlands and other countries to restrict the development of China's semiconductor industry, but also announced at the beginning of this year that it would cut off the supply relationship between American companies and Huawei on a global scale, and included Chinese companies such as Loongson Zhongke"Entity Inventory"According to statistics, the United States has added more than 600 Chinese companies to the Entity List.
China will no longer tolerate such dishonest behavior of the United States, and has successively announced important countermeasures. In this regard, there are foreign ** claims:"China has begun to settle accounts after the autumn!
Not long ago, the Cyberspace Administration of China announced that the United States, the world's largest manufacturer of semiconductor memory chips, analyzed the security of its products. This news immediately attracted the attention of the whole world, and also made many Chinese people applaud!
You must know that Micron is the world's largest memory chip manufacturer, with the largest global market share, and it is also an industry in China's semiconductor memory chip market"Oligarchs"。However, with the strong growth of YMTC in China, China's dependence on imported chips such as Micron in this field has been greatly reduced.
In order to consolidate its position in the industry, Micron actively responds to the US blockade of China's semiconductor industry, and often frames Chinese companies"Stealing trade secrets", constantly pressuring the United States to include Chinese companies in the list of Yangtze River storage entities, and consolidate its monopoly position through these improper means. This also means that the rapid development of China's memory chip industry will be forced to cut in half
What's more, after the news of Micron's investigation was announced, China opened fire on two other American companies!According to a recent report by the United States"China has slowed down the approval of a number of mergers and acquisitions plans by American companies, and the United States is imposing strong restrictions on the development of China's semiconductor industry"！These include large-scale mergers and acquisitions by Intel and Maylink Technologies.
It is important to know that China is a member of the global antitrust system, and the M&A plan of a U.S. company must be approved by the Chinese antitrust department before the M&A can be finalized. The merger and acquisition of Nvidia and ARM, which caused a lot of uproar some time ago, failed because it did not have the approval of China.
As we all know, in the process of participating in global and scientific and technological development, China has always adhered to an open and fair attitude, and will not use its unique advantages and strength to suppress and sanction others in order to consolidate its hegemonic position like the United States. If the M&A of U.S. companies is legal and in line with global antitrust policies, we will not deliberately mislead, and the same is true of Micron's analysis;If Micron's products are legal and compliant, we don't analyze them for safety.
Not only that, but Japan also took countermeasures after announcing that it would join the United States in blocking China by restricting the export of 23 types of equipment, technologies, and semiconductor chips to China. We have tightened the rare earth resources and the corresponding foundry technology required to manufacture semiconductor chips.
In addition, South Korea's Samsung also reduced its demand for imported tablets due to the reduced demand for tablets from Chinese companies, causing its tablet business to suffer hard. According to Samsung's first-quarter earnings report, its profit fell by 96%, but South Korea** also angrily criticized this"Shame"。To put it bluntly, Samsung found that its current situation was not its own fault, because in Huawei it was TSMC that cut off the chip foundry service, and Samsung chose to look on Huawei's plea, and even accepted the invitation of the United States to invest in the United States.
Whether it's the review of Micron, the slowdown in the approval of mergers and acquisitions plans for U.S. companies, and the severance of rare earths in Japan**, it is a reflection of China's strength. We have never encountered trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble, our counterattack to protect our own rights and interests, is to tell those who try to curb the development of science and technology in our country, China is no longer the China that was bullied a hundred years ago, the lion of the East has awakened, if we continue to move forward on the dark road and challenge our achievements, then we will usher in a more crazy counterattack!
It is worth noting that under the continuous siege of the United States and other Western countries, China's semiconductor field has not stagnated, but has continued to make technological progress, such as Huawei's 14nm EDA software technology, Shanghai Microelectronics' 28nm lithography technology, etc. It is foreseeable that with the joint efforts of China's scientific research institutions and science and technology enterprises, a breakthrough in the West's technological blockade of us is just around the corner. Please kudos to researchers in China!
