For advanced technologies, especially those advanced technologies that China has not yet broken through, the United States and the West have always been "strictly guarded", for fear that China will complete a technological breakthrough, so that they have no way to sell their products by virtue of their technological monopoly.
Previously, there was indeed a certain gap between China's science and technology and that of the United States and the West, and we did not have many advanced technologies ourselves. However, you must know that China at that time had actually reached the world's leading position in many technologies, but many people thought that others would have us to have them, and compared China's technology with the entire United States and the West, there were naturally many technologies that were "stuck".
Foreign ** also like to promote this kind of argument, and even came up with a "pearl in the crown of industry" with hundreds of technologies, coincidentally, these pearls in the crown of industry are basically technologies that China did not develop independently at that time. Some technologies are indeed very advanced, but some technologies are actually necessary or unavailable in China to put it bluntly.
Many people must have heard of the ballpoint nib steel, and the result is that TISCO made it out in two weeks, and then a furnace produced the amount of the world's use for a year, and directly began to reduce the price to compete for the market.
In fact, there are many more examples of this kind of thing, and many things are not actually impossible to do, but there is no profit, or there is not such a high priority to do. In fact, it is not without benefit for the United States and the West to come up with a so-called "jewel in the crown of industry", after all, it can make us understand what areas need to be broken through.
After China achieved a breakthrough in a certain field, the United States and the West removed this field from the list of pearls in the industrial crown, which led to the fact that there were dozens or even hundreds of "pearls", and now there are only a few EUV lithography machines, industrial software, etc.
So much so that some Chinese netizens said: If the United States and the West don't work hard, the jewel in the industrial crown will fall off. The United States and the West have used these technologies to choke our necks, and they have also sold products at a very high price.
For example, Qualcomm in the United States once launched an on-board chip, which was used in new energy vehicles, and the cost at that time was $40, sold to EU countries at about $80, and sold to Chinese companies directly to about $160.
To put it bluntly, this kind of on-board chip could not be manufactured in China at that time, but China's new energy vehicle industry is developing rapidly, and the demand for this chip is very high.
However, since BYD completed the localization substitution, this kind of ** has basically reached 20 US dollars directly. You must know that the domestic manufacturing industry chain is much stronger than that of the United States, and the labor cost is also lower, so even if it is the same technology, we can also give the best down.
The shipment price of domestic manufacturers of on-board chips is lower than the production cost of QualcommAs a result, Qualcomm, which used to be a leading enterprise in on-board chips, is no longer focusing on on-board chips.
In fact, after this kind of domestic substitution, the case of the first to be beaten down is not once or twice. In the past, when we could not produce shield machines independently, we could only buy them from American and Western companies, when they not only sold them very expensively, but also did not ship the most advanced ones, and in many cases only sold second-hand ones.
But what about now?We have completed the localization substitution, directly from hundreds of millions of dollars** to tens of millions of dollars, won 60% of the global market share, and even France and Germany are lining up to buy Chinese shield machines. You must know that France and Germany are the birthplace of shield machines, and the other is an internationally renowned shield machine.
The "jewel in the crown of industry", which was once used by the United States and the West to jam the neck, is now only left with EUV lithography machines and lighter gaskets that netizens jokingly added. Judging from the current situation, it is estimated that the EUV lithography machine will have to be taken off in a short time.
However, EUV lithography machine as the world's many well-known enterprises to participate, a collection of many modern top technology to create precision equipment, it is indeed a bit difficult to break through, after all, even the only Dutch company ASML that can ship EUV lithography machine itself only has 20% of the technology, which is enough to see the technical difficulty.
With the rapid development of China's science and technology, the once so-called crown jewel of industry has begun to "dim", and even many netizens have said: If you don't work hard, there will be no more.
Postscript:
The so-called jewels in the crown of industry are being picked up by China one by one, and the strong strength of China's scientific and technological development can be said to be beyond doubt.
