Foreign media: The restriction has been made a big fuss
The world situation is turbulent, but an "iron law" never seems to change: the United States and the West will encircle and intercept all kinds of good things and excellent scientific and technological products, hide and ridicule, and dare not sell them to China.
For example, the former shield machine and the current EUV lithography machine are regarded as the "pearls" in the crown of Western industry, which are things that China has not yet been able to independently develop and produce.
Why does the United States increase sanctions on Chinese semiconductors?
Today, in the field of semiconductors, the depth of US restrictions and the severity of sanctions have shocked many people.
Solar energy, wind power, lithium batteries, electric vehicles, high-voltage power transmission, shield machine ......As well as today's semiconductors, if you look closely at these fields, in fact, don't look at Europe and the United States in terms of technology, you can still do some of the leading.
So why is the United States so afraid of China's semiconductor development?
Because we've learned a magic that kills people – applying it on a large scale. As long as China has mastered any key core technology and spread it around the world, it will be the price of cabbage.
The United States was surprised to find that only about 1 6 of the world's chip investment now flows to traditional mature chips, and most of them are in China.
U.S. Secretary of Commerce Raimondo said: In the past two years, China has accounted for 80% of the new production capacity in some traditional chip fields!
It is conceivable that the high-end chip technology is indeed far ahead of the United States, but China's massive chips will flood into the global market and completely break the barriers of US chip sanctions.
As a result, the chip restriction incident began to make a big fuss.
Foreign media: The restriction has been made a big fuss
The first thing is the lithography machine that is most needed for the expansion of China's core technology.
At the beginning of the new year, the Dutch lithography machine giant ASML issued a statement that the Netherlands has recently partially revoked the licenses of two immersion DUVs shipped in 2023, which stuck the necks of some Chinese enterprises.
According to some ** revelations, the United States ** Biden also personally commanded the scene, which shows how much attention he attaches to the expansion of China's chip production.
Second, the U.S. is also eyeing the field of memory chips, where China has made a huge breakthrough.
YMTC and Changxin Storage have come out of the rain of bullets from Samsung in South Korea and Micron in the United States, and upgrading hard disks has become a hot word for digital players.
In order to curb China's technology, the Biden team has exerted maximum pressure to prevent YMTC from obtaining the corresponding production equipment to avoid the expansion of China's domestic memory chip production.
Finally, the United States and the West are suspected of raiding Huawei.
Recently, the relevant authorities cracked a case of infringement of chip technology trade secrets, and the key technology of HiSilicon, a subsidiary of Huawei, was stolen by the domestic Wi-Fi chip start-up Zunpai Communications.
Zhang, who had worked in the American giant Qualcomm for many years, and even changed his American nationality, attracted the attention of many people; What's more coincidental is that Qualcomm has also applied for a number of patents during this period of time, wanting to compete with Huawei for the right to formulate WiFi standards.
Afterword
In fact, the chip industry is a long-term large investment and high risk, and it needs to be adhered to for a long time in a unified plan to be effective. List of high-quality authors
