The United States suspended restrictions, Bill Gates foresaw the fulfillment, and the policy change was not unexpected

In order to restrict the development of China's semiconductor industry, the United States can be said to do everything, and the means used are becoming more and more despicable.

Since May 2021, the United States has taken the lead in establishing the American Semiconductor Alliance (SIAC) with a total of 64 companies from Japan, South Korea and European countries, including Microsoft, Google, Apple, Intel, Unisplendour Semiconductor, Samsung, Nikon, etc., basically covering the entire semiconductor industry chain.

Since then, the MITRE American Public Interest Technology Association has announced the establishment of a semiconductor alliance composed of companies related to the semiconductor industry in the United States, which is composed of Intel, Micron, ADI and other companies, as well as many industry-university, experts and scholars.

Biden in addition to exploiting"Small courtyard with high walls"In addition to weakening China and other countries in the field of scientific and technological research and international cooperation and development, the strategy has also introduced a series of semiconductor-related bills, including the CHIPS Act, the American Innovation and Competition Act, and the American Semiconductor Construction Promotion Act.

In addition, the United States has adopted diplomatically"Pull small groups"to exclude China from engaging in the semiconductor industry in the Asia-Pacific region"Coteria"It brings together Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, China, which have comparative advantages in the semiconductor industry chain.

Previously, the United States** was jointly established with South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan"Chip4 Semiconductor Industry Alliance"。Obviously, these actions of the United States are aimed at preventing China from gaining dominance in the strategic sphere.

But the U.S. approach will eventually fail, because as early as a few years ago, Bill Gates predicted that Bill Gates made it clear that the United States will not only get any benefits if it does not give China ** chips, but will also cause huge losses to the United States.

If the United States does not give China ** chips, it will mean the loss of a large number of high-paying jobs, and it will also lead to China's acceleration of the pace of chip self-sufficiency, and the consequences will be very serious.

Judging from the results so far, Bill Gates's prediction is correct, the launch of Huawei's Mate60 series has completely shattered the opportunity for the United States to block the progress of China's semiconductor industry, and Huawei's Kirin 9000S chip proves everything.

In the past, although Huawei was able to design top-notch chips, it was limited by the level of chip processing technology, and the production process still relied on TSMC to complete, and the US sanctions completely cut off the opportunity for Kirin chip production.

But the Kirin 9000 has rewritten history, because this chip is a completely independent research and development and production of chips, using Huawei's own Taishan architecture, plus the 7nm process is also a process with independent property rights, which is manufactured by China's own chip industry.

Huawei's breakthrough has also made the United States completely panicked, since China has really created an independent and controllable semiconductor industry chain, it will really not be afraid of US sanctions in the future.

Even products made in China are more advantageous and cheaper, which will inevitably affect the United States' right to speak in the field of semiconductors, which is why the United States wants to do everything possible to restrict the development of China's semiconductor industry.

As a result, the U.S. has taken a tougher stance toward Huawei, SMIC, and related Chinese semiconductor companies, and has introduced seven new sanctions, including revoking all existing licenses of SMIC and Huawei, and initiating criminal proceedings against SMIC and Huawei executives.

On the other hand, the United States has also begun to loosen its grip and indefinitely suspend restrictions on imports of American-made semiconductor equipment from Samsung Electronics and SK hynix's Chinese factories, as confirmed by Choi Sang-mok, first secretary of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the South Korean government.

What we feared happened, China's chip industry, with the efforts of countless experts, has finally ushered in a milestone, has successfully stepped back from the chaotic stage of the past, so it is bound to be subject to the most severe sanctions from the United States, a comprehensive blow to Huawei and SMIC.

At the same time, there is also the possibility that the United States will suddenly deregulate technology and dump advanced processing capacity on a large scale, which is why the Chinese factories of Samsung Electronics and South Korea's SK hynix can now import American-made semiconductor equipment.

The U.S. allows foreign companies such as Samsung Electronics and SK hynix that have factories in China to import U.S.-made semiconductor equipment and use its technology to produce advanced products, with the aim of suppressing Chinese wafers that are difficult to produce.

In other words, American politicians have been very clear that since the Kirin 9000s dare to take it, this shows that Huawei, SMIC and other companies have full confidence in solving the chip problem, and it is impossible for the United States to use chips to card the neck of Chinese companies in the future.

Therefore, the best thing the United States can do next is to let American companies and allies invest in wafer production on a large scale in Chinese mainland, pouring advanced processing capabilities, which can slow down the pace of China's technological progress.

We must not let the U.S. plan come true, let alone support Huawei and other companies to vigorously develop the domestic semiconductor industry chain under such difficult circumstances, let alone repeat the mistakes of Lenovo.

At that time, we must be vigilant against the sabotage of the United States, because the ugly face of the United States has been written on its face for many years, and the United States will never give up, we can only give up all illusions and build a controllable semiconductor industry chain.
