China's chewing gum consumer market is huge, and companies from many countries want to do business in China. However, the existence of U.S. regulations on chewing gum has added many uncertainties to the market, and South Korean chewing gum giants still need to obtain U.S. authorization to set up factories in the mainland.
Although it is licensed indefinitely, it does not mean that the future will be smooth sailing. The United States reported that due to restrictions, will the South Korean giant ** China's chip factory? The official response is here.
Rumors that the South Korean company will ** chip factory.
China is a significant exporter of South Korean chips, and two South Korean giants, Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, have extensive operations in China. Samsung Electronics' layout in China mainly involves the construction of a memory chip factory in Xi'an to expand production capacity. Construction of the plant began in 2014 to meet the demand for memory chips in the Chinese market.
In 2020, SK hynix acquired the Dalian memory chip factory from Intel for 9 billion yuan** to expand its production capacity in the Chinese market and enhance its competitiveness in the global high-end chip field.
Last October, the United States granted an indefinite waiver to South Korean companies' factories in China, and since then, South Korean companies no longer need additional authorization to purchase American equipment in Chinese mainland. But the indefinite waiver doesn't mean peace of mind, and according to some U.S.** affected by the restrictions, the future of the fab is uncertain, so SK hynix may **Dalian fab.
If SK hynix decides to ** the Dalian chip factory, it could have a series of effects on the company. These include a loss of competitiveness in the Chinese chip market, as companies will lose the opportunity to increase production capacity and expand market share in China.
In addition, the Dalian fab may impact SK Hynix's profitability and commercial scale. Wafer manufacturing is a capital-intensive and technology-intensive industry that requires significant investment to build and operate a fab. If SK Hynix **Dalian fab, it will lose production capacity and corresponding revenue**.
SK Hynix's reply.
Either way, SK hynix's Dalian plant is not a wise choice, because it is difficult to obtain an indefinite license in the United States, and it is impossible to give up the opportunity to operate in the mainland market in the future, which is not much different from cutting off the road of self-severance.
Rumors in the United States intensified, and in the end, SK hynix made an official response, denying the rumors of the Chinese factory and saying:"At present, the **Dalian plant is not considered.
In fact, the mainland market is very important to South Korean companies, if it were not for the United States to restrict chip production, I am afraid that Chinese mainland would also acquire EUV lithography machines to expand the production of high-end chips. And Intel's SK hynix spent a lot of money to buy the Dalian factory, but it hasn't started to make much money yet, because it may not be able to sell.
Therefore, the report of the United States is essentially aimed at disrupting the market order, creating a false image, and discrediting the market. According to SK hynix's response, the company will continue to push for the construction of factories on the African continent. Then there's Samsung Electronics, which has managed to dramatically scale up production and continue to penetrate China under the protection of an indefinite waiver.
If you agree, please give a thumbs up and feel free to **, comment and share.
