$1 billion!The chip giant moved again, and foreign media called it a "showdown".
Chip giant Micron (Micron) has made another big move after making mistakes and being investigated!According to market sources, Micron will invest $1 billion in India to open a new chip packaging plant dedicated to the production of memory chips. Construction plans for the plant are already underway and have received approvals from the Indian side and are expected to be completed in the near future. Foreign ** commented that this is the best of them.
Not so long ago, Micron Technology, an American memory chip maker, was reprimanded for violating the rules. And American business, as the main culprit, not only did not correct its mistakes, but also"Match"The U.S. has issued a warning to South Korean companies, saying that South Korean wafer companies such as Samsung hynix have not filled the market share gap, and South Korea has also learned a lesson.
And judging from the mistakes of this company, "People**" has long had its own opinion!Although the introduction of technology can obtain certain benefits, relying on the technology of other countries and being controlled by others is obviously not a long-term solution. On the contrary, only independent research and development and self-sufficiency can achieve the goal of becoming a scientific and technological power. So, why did Micron Technology go to the point of being censored?What's going on here?Actually, there's one behind this"**"。
First of all, Micron has a solid position. For a long time, it can be said that the global memory chip market has been basically monopolized by South Korean and American companies, and the three oligopolies of Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron occupy 76% of the market share.
As one of the few memory chip manufacturers in the United States, Micron has been developing in this field for more than 40 years, and has rich patents and technology accumulation in DRAM and NAND flash memory chips. Interconnectfish noted that flash memory market data shows that Micron's share of the global DRAM market was 23 percent in the fourth quarter of 20223%, ranking third, with a share of 105%。
Micron's storage products are widely used in computers, servers, mobile devices, consumer electronics, industry, communications, automobiles and other fields. It can be seen that its strength should not be underestimated. However, behind this glamorous American company, there is an unknown hand that has also caught our attention.
Micron's misconduct in the Chinese market is under intense scrutiny. Hutongyu noticed that there was a detailed report that Micron began to increase lobbying efforts as early as 2018, especially in"Jinhua incident"Micron maliciously falsely accused Fujian Jinhua Company, resulting in Jinhua Company being included in the restriction"list", unable to import important equipment and materials.
In addition, Micron also used its market advantages and patent rights to maliciously suppress the development of China's storage industry, such as Yangtze River Storage, Hefei Changxin, etc. Micron's intentions are obvious. These actions have seriously damaged the interests and development of Chinese enterprises.
As a high-tech company, Micron has a high market position and strong technical strength. However, instead of making full use of this huge market, it has done many things behind the scenes that have harmed China's interests. Micron's malicious behavior has caused difficulties and obstacles to the development of Chinese enterprises, and posed a threat to China's semiconductor industry and its international status.
As spectators, it is also absolutely necessary for us to take decisive action to stop this kind of behavior in order to maintain the market order of fair competition.
In general, there were"Micron incident"Chinese companies should practice the warning of the "People", reduce over-reliance on other countries' technology, and take the basic technology into their own hands, regardless of the final result. As a country with the world's largest market, we should encourage and support more enterprises and individuals to devote themselves to the cause of independent innovation and contribute to China's scientific and technological progress.
