Set the rules for American companies, Biden is helpless, and foreign media China began to fight back
In recent years, the technology circle has been turbulent, and the United States has repeatedly extended its efforts to Chinese companies such as Huawei"**"The United States does not want to see China's development in the field of science and technology have a head start, and its monopoly hegemony is not guaranteed.
In the second half of last year, the former United States further tightened shipping restrictions on high-end wafers. At the same time, the United States, Japan, and the Netherlands signed a tripartite agreement to control restrictions on lithography machines and other semiconductor equipment. Attempts to further restrict the development of China's semiconductor industry have also caused great distress for Chinese companies.
In the face of the endless suppression of Chinese enterprises by the United States, China has created a good investment environment for foreign-funded enterprises regardless of American-funded enterprises, adhering to the attitude of a great country. As long as it does not affect the final effect of China's laws and the normal operation of the market, we will not interfere too much. American"Dishonesty"The behaviour is in stark contrast.
However, in the face of China's indulgence, the United States has not only stopped it, but has intensified it. In response, China has already begun to fight back. Some time ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced a review of the American company Micron Technology - if Micron's products have safety issues, they will be completely banned in China.
As a memory chip giant, Micron Technology has a large market share in China, with its profits in China exceeding $17.3 billion in 2018 alone, accounting for more than half of its total profits. However, even so, Micron is still not satisfied, making small moves behind the scenes, it began to lobby the United States in 2018, and has put forward 170 plans in the past few years to suppress China's memory chip companies, in an attempt to gain a larger market share and profits, and it has really inherited the US official"Not honest"The old line. It really inherited the official of Lao Mei"Scoundrel"Nature. China has suffered big losses in memory chip companies represented by Yangtze River Storage and Fujian Jinhua. Now that Micron is being censored by China, it can be said that it is very happy.
Micron analyzed the news from China, its company's stock price continued to be the first, and at the same time, it can be seen from Micron's latest financial statements that its second-quarter revenue was only $3.6 billion, compared with the same period, in the form of halving. In this regard, some foreign media said: China has begun to show the face of American companies, and it is fighting back.
Since the United States has been changing the rules, many foreign companies have begun to cooperate with the United States. Whether it's intentional or helpless. The Micron incident illustrates a problem: China, the world's largest consumer market for semiconductors, has lost, and it has lost badly. At the same time, Chinese manufacturers are steadily increasing their capital investment in independent research and development, and are in a stage of development by leaps and bounds, and are striving to move towards the process of localization.
In the current turbulent market environment, Chinese companies have made great achievements, such as YMTC has achieved 232 layers of stacked flash memory. In addition, at the 2023 China Development Forum, foreign companies such as ASML and Samsung will also participate, which illustrates some problems. After the signing of the tripartite agreement, ASML expressed the importance it attaches to the Chinese market. As much lithography equipment as possible to China, at the same time, the American semiconductor companies Kelei and Lam Research also have news that they want to send more equipment to China. In this regard, the Biden team has been wary.
In the face of external suppression and blockade, many outstanding domestic enterprises have come to the fore, continue to carry out technological innovation, increase investment in scientific research, and with the policy support of continuous scientific research, it is believed that the localization chain of the semiconductor industry will make a qualitative leap and completely break the encirclement and suppression of the United States and its so-called allies.
