China has updated its list of "restrictions", with a complete ban on 24 technologies, and countermeasures have been launched
In recent years, China's science and technology companies have developed rapidly and have performed well in many cutting-edge fields, but at present, the United States is deliberately hindering the development of Chinese enterprises, and does not hesitate to use all means to impose sanctions on Chinese enterprises, and ZTE, Huawei and other companies have suffered as a result.
The United States has many means to sanction Chinese companies, from putting Chinese companies on the entity list, to restricting the export of technology and equipment, to changing the wafer rules many times to prevent the development of China's semiconductor industry, and even allies to ban free transportation, in order to achieve"Strangling"The purpose of China's semiconductor industry.
In the case of the Dutch lithography giant ASML, which is basically very willing to be free with Chinese companies**, the United States wants to control the free shipping of ASML by banning it from selling EUV lithography machines to Chinese companies.
As a result of the U.S. sanctions on China, China's foundry industry is developing very slowly, because without the support of the upstream industrial chain and advanced lithography technology, it is impossible to produce chips with advanced technology, which is also the reason why Huawei's mobile phones are affected.
But no matter how the United States behaves, Chinese companies can still find a breakthrough, Huawei in the past two years with the Hongmeng system as the entry point, the mobile phone business has also begun to recover, last year's launch of the mate50 series has achieved good results.
There is also SMIC, although it cannot buy ASML's EUV lithography machine, but in the past two years, it has increased the layout of mature processes such as 28nm, and has decided to build 4 new wafer factories as planned, and strive to improve the self-sufficiency rate of domestic chips.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the fact that Chinese technology companies are still developing steadily and have not been completely defeated by the United States, so the United States recently made a decision and has reached an agreement with Japan and the Netherlands to jointly restrict the chip manufacturing equipment of Chinese companies.
Subsequently, the United States also plans to go all-in"**"Huawei has prevented Huawei from issuing licenses for 4G, Wi6, WiFi7, artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and cloud computing projects.
In the face of this move by the United States, we naturally cannot tolerate it, so we have recently taken effective countermeasures, and the Ministry of Commerce has updated the "Catalogue of Prohibited and Restricted Surgical Procedures in China", and the decision is as follows.
The updated catalogue deleted 32 technical items, modified 36 technical items, added 7 technical items, and the total number of revised technical items was 139, of which 115 were restricted and the remaining 24 were prohibited.
Export restrictions are well understood, that is, the export of certain specific items is controlled, basic technology is not provided to the outside world, finished products can be sold abroad, and prohibited exports cannot be authorized, transferred, or sold to foreign companies or individuals.
This time, in the catalogue of prohibited and restricted surgical procedures, China has made significant modifications and improvements to some technology access control points, indicating that China attaches more importance to some key areas.
The first is LiDAR technology.
China is vigorously developing new energy vehicles, and more and more car companies have turned to the new energy route and taken the smart car route.
Lidar is likened to"Robot eyes"Therefore, the scale of the lidar market will expand rapidly, and its technical value will also be enhanced.
The second is the preparation technology of silicon photoelectric wafers.
All countries have set their own carbon peak, carbon neutrality goals, reducing carbon emissions will be the development direction in the next few decades, in order to improve the utilization rate of new energy, and the sun as the largest natural energy, its potential value is self-evident.
In this field, China has become the world's largest photovoltaic power generation country, and it is also a big country in the world that has the right to speak about core technology.
It is necessary for China to plan the preparation technology of lidar and photovoltaic silicon wafers, after all, these technologies represent the direction of future scientific and technological development.
China's ban and restrictions on the export of these technologies are not only conducive to protecting domestic companies, but also a countermeasure to the unequal policies of the United States and other countries.
That's why China's countermeasures have already begun, because the United States is targeting us all the time, and we will also be at the core of the countermeasures technology and materials, although there are only 24 technologies that have been completely banned, but the future of all these technologies is not easy to say.
You see, China has made great strides in science and technology over the years, and has caught up with or even surpassed the United States in many fields, so it is entirely possible to add more restrictions and bans on technology exports in the future.
So, are you optimistic about the future of Chinese technology?
