TSMC Samsung stated that foreign media speculated that the attitude of the Chinese market has changed!
Everyone knows that the United States has been suppressing China's semiconductor industry in recent years, and has imposed various restrictions on Huawei from the beginning, such as making changes to the chips, which led to the forced shutdown of the Kirin produced by it, resulting in its inability to use the core. Subsequently, the United States introduced a series of policies of up to 52 billion yuan, in order to pull the world's top semiconductor companies such as TSMC and Samsung to set up factories in the United States to further enhance the United States' voice in the world.
Although the United States is very strong in technology, its chip manufacturing company Intel can only occupy 1% of the market share, which makes it difficult for Biden to accept.
Therefore, they used high chip subsidies to pull companies such as TSMC and Samsung to the United States to invest and establish their own chip production lines, while the United States signed a "tripartite agreement" with Japan and the Netherlands to exercise more control over China's semiconductor products.
After a series of measures in the United States, TSMC had to abandon the establishment of an advanced process foundry in Nanjing, and instead invested heavily in Yuanmei, which established a new foundry, and now the 5 nm foundry has also started production. South Korea's Samsung, Hynix and other companies set up in China have also been blocked by the US ban, and many companies in China have been forced to leave.
In fact, companies like Intel and Qualcomm hope to occupy a place in the Chinese market, but because the United States is too strict on chips, they are likely to be regulated by the United States.
Obviously, Biden is determined to curb China's semiconductor industry, even if there are American companies in China, it cannot be an exception, because Biden's team is to focus all its energy on the research and development of chips to prevent the leakage of its core technology, so even if it is an American company overseas, it cannot be an exception.
But Biden obviously underestimated the situation in China, China, as the world's largest chip consumer market, is not the only one with Meixin, many foreign-funded companies have gained huge benefits after entering China, coupled with China's continuous progress in chips and equipment in recent years, therefore, it is unrealistic to completely curb the development of China's semiconductor industry.
And what makes Biden most proud is Huawei's Mate60 Pro, its Kirin 9000 processor, without using any hardware and software, shows the same powerful strength as the 7 nm process, which makes Biden stunned.
Immediately afterwards, Huawei announced the news of suspending the purchase of Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, and Kirin's production was finally on a normal track, while Qualcomm lost nearly 40 million SoC chips after severing its partnership with Huawei. In this case, it is obviously impossible for Meixin companies to ship chips to China again, and foreign ** have also stated that China will no longer eat this set.
Immediately afterwards, the reactions of TSMC and Samsung also became ambiguous, and TSMC even "changed face", refusing to accept the high chip subsidy request made by the United States and trying to return to China, but it was too late.
Interestingly, Biden actually agreed to Samsung, TSMC's investment in China, TSMC restarted the 28nm factory project in Nanjing, and Samsung, Hynix and other companies also got permanent exemptions, but now the semiconductor companies in these countries have done their own production, and everything is in vain.
