Recently,asmlThe company's export policy to the Chinese market was once again under pressure from the United States, resulting in lithography equipment (DUV mature technology equipment) not being able to enter the Chinese market. This means that China is facing:Lithography machine**The dilemma of "supply cuts". Despite the fact that the country is inLithography machineSome breakthroughs and inventories have been made in R&D, but in the face of the growing demand for domestic chips, it is still difficult to alleviate the current pain period. Especially when found withasmlThere are also certain difficulties in terms of substitutes with comparable production capacity.
However, in the face of this problem, China has said it will not sit idly by. The head of the Chinese mission to the EU made it clear that inLithography machineThe wisdom and capabilities of Chinese engineers and scientists must not be underestimated. At the same time, the Chinese side also stressed that it does not want to adopt restrictive measures, because this will only create a lose-lose situation. However, if the situation is difficult to balance, measures taken by both sides may also be a last resort.
Chinese scientists and engineers are inLithography machineThe problem shows great ingenuity and independent innovation ability. This is not an exaggeration. In fact,asmlCEOs have repeatedly praised Chinese scientists for their admirable willingness to work tirelessly into research and development. Part of the reason for this is that they don't have access to itLithography machineThe equipment can only be developed and manufactured by itself. When we are cut offLithography machine** case, we have to rely on ourselves. After all, some countries in the West believe that restrictions can stop China's development, but they fail to realize that China is thereLithography machineThere is a strong potential and ability in the field.
At present, China still welcomes foreign countriesInvestmentsbusinesses, even if they are in the midst of a ban. This is actually a response to some voices in the country that oppose the restrictions. In the past, some people thought that we should exclude them and implement mutual restrictions. From an irrational point of view, this is a good way to go. However, we should be clear that this will only lead to a lose-lose situation. As a country committed to globalization, we always welcome more foreign companies to come to the Chinese market and keep our promises to foreign companies. As long as they comply with our rules, we will not take restrictive measures. This is also where we are able to attract foreign investmentInvestmentsOne of the reasons.
Even though we want to solve the problem of restrictions through communication, we still have the anti-limit hole cards in our hands. If communication does not lead to a satisfactory outcome, we may be forced to resort to mutually limiting measures, even though we do not want to see such a situation. In fact, this is equivalent to "warning" them not to treat Chinese companies unfairly, because if the situation becomes bigger, both sides will not be able to bear the consequences. So, we're not going to sit still.
To sum up, faceLithography machine** The dilemma of severance, China will definitely not sit still. Whether in independent innovation or foreignInvestmentsIn terms of corporate attitudes and countermeasures, China has shown strong strength and determination. Lithography machineThe supply cut is only a temporary difficult period, and I believe that Chinese engineers and scientists will be able to open up a new path and promote China through independent research and development and innovationSemiconductorsThe development of the industry.
