China flexes its muscles, and the sanctions layout is a "stinky chess", and Bill Gates predicted correctly
The United States has always been accustomed to making things out of nothing, taking advantage of the so-called security issue to carry out various actions against other countries, and China has suffered greatly. In recent years, the United States has imposed multiple rounds of sanctions on Chinese companies such as ZTE and Huawei.
Recently, the United States re-listed 28 Chinese entities on security grounds"Entity List", including Loongson, Inspur Group, BGI and other semiconductor, big data, biological science related enterprises.
Prior to this, the United States also attacked Chinese applications such as Didi Taxi, Alipay, and WeChat, requiring U.S. official agencies and civil servants to uninstall Didi Dache within 30 days, and prohibiting the installation on official equipment, which caused strong dissatisfaction in China.
China's strong and domineering response has simply made the US side embarrassed, and the Chinese side responded:"The United States is so afraid of an app that young people love, it is too lacking in self-confidence"。It is really unbelievable that a strong country is so small.
In fact, many Americans disagree with the deliberate sanctions imposed by the United States on Chinese companies, including Bill Gates, the world's richest man, after the United States sanctioned Huawei, Bill Gates was interviewed and clearly expressed his disapproval of Chinese chips being sanctioned by the United States.
Bill Gates criticized the United States for not giving chips to China, believing that this will not bring any benefits, not only will the United States lose a number of high-paying jobs, but will also lead to China's accelerated self-sufficiency, and the consequences will be very serious.
Three years ago, Bill Gates made such a prediction, and three years later, everything played out with Bill Gates's prediction, China has indeed begun to flex its muscles, and the United States sanctions Chinese companies are indeed indeed"Stinky chess"In the future, you will have to pay for mistakes.
First of all, China has strengthened its export controls, and the latest "Catalogue of Prohibited and Restricted Technologies in China" shows that China has a total of 24 prohibited and 115 restricted technologies, including photovoltaic silicon wafers, vehicle lidar, rare earths, etc.
Obviously, these banned or restricted technologies will seriously affect the development of the United States, especially the ban on the export of rare earths, and it is a blockade of American science and technology, because rare earths are important and non-renewable raw materials for semiconductors, biology, aerospace and other technology industries.
The United States is the world's largest consumer of rare earths, since China is fully rare earth, the United States rare earth industry will also face unprecedented challenges, so in terms of export controls, we have been controlling the United States.
Secondly, China has obtained the first batch of semiconductor patents, and the semiconductor industry is a comprehensive discipline, involving many major supporting disciplines in the world, including basic physics, applied physics, materials science, etc., so tens of thousands of technical patents can be generated every year.
According to data released by third-party institutions, the number of global semiconductor patent applications will reach 69,194 in 2022, while China's applications have reached 37,865, accounting for 55% of the global total, ranking first in the world.
This is a very good trend, because the progress of semiconductor technology is inseparable from the support of these technology patents, and China is rapidly accumulating experience, and there are so many patent applications every year, which will inevitably drive the national semiconductor industry to a higher level over time.
Although the United States, South Korea and other countries are vigorously preparing for the new energy industry, but from the current perspective of standards, CATL's power battery status is unshakable, and its market share ranks first in the world.
At present, the United States has been hoping to attract CATL to build factories in the United States, so it established a cooperation between CATL and Ford, however, shortly after Ford officially announced the cooperation with CATL, there was news that it had been modified.
It is reported that the revision of the cooperation agreement is mainly to ensure that the core battery technology of CATL will not be leaked to Ford, which is in stark contrast to the previous United States pinching China's neck in the high-tech field at every turn, which shows that in the field of power batteries, the status of China and the United States has begun to reverse.
And this is only the beginning of China's flex of muscles, as long as the United States continues to do this, there should be no good fruit to eat in the future, which Bill Gates sees very clearly, and he guessed the result a few years ago.
Perhaps the United States has begun to be anxious, so it has drawn countries into the alliance, and they have reached various agreements, the goal is to seize the initiative, but the United States is difficult to convince the public, ASML, Qualcomm and other companies have opened a door for Chinese companies.
At present, the United States continues to crack down on Chinese companies, but this will only lead to China's accelerated self-sufficiency, and the intelligent and hard-working Chinese people have never been afraid of the future, they will not be afraid of American pressure.
