Introduction. European and American countries have imposed a "chip embargo" on Russia, which has brought a severe test to Russia. However, despite the claims of the Western chip giants that they no longer provide chips to Russia, the chips and components produced by Russian manufacturing equipment continue to flow into the Russian market. This situation raises some questions: Why did Russia get so many chips from the West?
Method 1: Transshipment through a third country.
Russia has established a number of commercial partnerships, and the transfer of chips through third countries has become a common practice. After European and American countries have restricted direct imports to Russia, Russia can completely ship its own chips to its own hands through American transit companies. For example, a wholesale company called AzuInternational for personal computer terminals, after being established in Turkey, transferred computer parts imported from the United States to Russia, thus forming a classic model of circumventing the blockade through an intermediary country. This method of transshipment makes it difficult for Russian chips to be completely blocked by the Western world.
Method 2: Utilize a shell company.
In addition, the use of a shell company is also a way for Russia to acquire Western chips. Some shell subsidiaries are only in name only, have no actual employees, and do not have normal business activities. For example, Hong Kong-based Pixeldevices, a shell company with no employees, is said to have exported goods from Intel and AMD to Russia. Since it is not difficult to register a shell company in the United States, it is difficult to effectively crack down on those small distributors and shell companies. This indirect supply chain allows Russia to obtain chips from Western countries.
Early stocks in Russia with domestic chips.
After analyzing the Russian-made "anti-terrorism" ** equipment, a lot of "chips" from European and American countries were found. This shows that Russia had a considerable inventory of chips and parts before the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. At the same time, it is also reminding us that China should increase the research and productivity of domestic chips and reduce its dependence on foreign countries. China is a large developing country and cannot completely rely on chips from other countries**.
Chip threat from homegrown.
At present, the development of integrated circuits in Russia has encountered a severe test. Even before the advent of technologies such as lithography and IC, Russia was at a disadvantage in chip production. At present, 95% of the chips produced in Russia need to rely on imports, and only a small part of the chips with lagging processes are produced by Russia itself. This has sounded the alarm for the country to "wake up", that is, to increase independent research and development and productivity, and reduce foreign dependence.
Brief summary. Although European and American countries have imposed a "chip embargo" on Russia, Russia still obtains a large number of chips from abroad from other sources, including through some other third-party channels, as well as the use of some shell companies. Russia had a large inventory of chips and parts before the war in Ukraine, which allowed it to fight the technological blockade to some extent. Therefore, China must attach importance to the development of localization, increase China's independent research and production capacity, and reduce its dependence on foreign countries. We must maintain our scientific and technological autonomy in order to gain a firm foothold in the world's scientific and technological race.
