Revoke the countermeasures?Tsinghua experts' words are inaccurate, or will damage the core technology of domestic production
In the past decade, China has continued to catch up and surpass in various fields of science and technology, from scratch to leading, and these progress are obvious to all. Once successful, it can not only reduce the ** of foreign products, but also improve its own advantages in foreign markets, which is the case with photovoltaic products.
China has the world's leading technology for the preparation of photovoltaic silicon wafers, which has been included in the list of restricted and prohibited exports. However, in the face of such an important anti-sanctions opportunity, Tsinghua experts have suggested that the export of this technology should not be restricted, is it the ignorance of Tsinghua experts?"Bury"10 years of domestic technology?
One of the characteristics of Western business activity in the Chinese market is that China has not mastered the technology to increase prices wildly. China has a huge consumer market, and the West does not worry about selling, even if Chinese customers cause controversy, as long as China does not have such technological alternatives, ** will always remain high.
Just like China did not have an advantage in escort aircraft before, the price of foreign escort aircraft was more than 7 million yuan, and China broke the monopoly of escort aircraft, ** dropped to about 25 million yuan.
There have been similar cases in important technology industries such as LCD panels and lithium battery separators.
Later, China continued to improve its technological advantages and began to occupy an important position in the global ** chain, and became an important bargaining chip for foreign countermeasures, such as silicon photovoltaic wafer preparation technology.
The photovoltaic silicon wafer preparation technology has been included in the "Catalogue of Prohibited and Restricted Technologies" officially announced by China, and the relevant technologies shall not be transferred or licensed.
In the past decade, China's photovoltaic industry has ranked first in the world, accounting for 97% of the world's solar silicon wafer production, and China ranks first in the world from photovoltaic manufacturing to photovoltaic power generation capacity.
In the context of countries stepping up the development of new energy industries, China's photovoltaic silicon wafer preparation technology has undoubtedly become a sweet spot. However, China's hard-won achievements in scientific research and technological development cannot be easily handed over.
The outside world believes that this is an opportunity for the United States to counter-impose sanctions, and in various negotiations with the United States, it is necessary to seize the initiative in this technological field.
However, Tsinghua expert Bai Chongen put forward a different point of view, and his proposal does not restrict the export of photovoltaic silicon wafer preparation technology. Bai Chongen explained:"Foreign companies have already started using alternative technologies from China. If the export of photovoltaic silicon wafer preparation technology is restricted at this time, it will have an adverse impact on the development of China's photovoltaic industry. "Finally, Bai Chongen also emphasized that enterprises should be encouraged to base themselves on the global market and actively carry out overseas business.
Bai Chongen hopes that if the counter-sanctions against the United States are lifted, the photovoltaic silicon wafer preparation technology will be opened to foreign licensing without restrictions. "Buried"Is the core technology of the domestic ten years the ignorance of Tsinghua experts?
From an objective point of view, Bai Chongen's point of view has some truth, because the elaboration of various studies by foreign companies to accelerate the search for alternatives to the photovoltaic industry, once successful, can have an impact on China's photovoltaic industry. It's like the U.S. wants to restrict China's chips and then ask China to speed up chip research.
Bai Chongen's starting point is correct, and only through openness and cooperation can we promote the progress of all walks of life. But Bai Chongen ignored an important message, that is, China only restricts the preparation technology of silicon photocells, not silicon photocell products.
China's restrictions on the export of photovoltaic products have multiple implications, both in relation to the underlying technology itself and the content of related products. Obviously, the restrictions on photovoltaic silicon wafer preparation technology belong to the first category, that is, the technology cannot be authorized for transfer, but the product can be sold externally.
China has not prevented other countries from acquiring photovoltaic products, just like ASML lithography machines and American chips.
They sell us products, we use them, and the process doesn't touch the underlying technology.
This is why Tsinghua experts are not aware of the scope of the restrictions, if the real photovoltaic silicon wafer products are restricted, it will be difficult for China's photovoltaic industry to advance to some time ago, after all, product research and development needs to be sold externally, so that we can get benefits, continue to invest in research and development, and achieve a virtuous cycle of research and development and production.
So, will the opening of alternatives by foreign companies affect the competitive advantage of China's PV industry?Maybe it's not that easy. Once the West really enters product research and development, China can fight a war and bring the product down.
In the absence of Western technological products, China can achieve a greater competitive advantage. When the West can't resist the ** war, the result can be imagined.
This is also the usual tactic of the West against China, and now it is China's turn to have a say in the booming photovoltaic industry. It is expected that not only photovoltaic products, but also domestic manufacturers can make progress in core technologies in the fields of semiconductors, lithography machines, and high-end medical equipment in the future, so as to make the industry bigger and stronger.
