No more camouflage? The former U.S. ambassador to China called for China not to want to make cutting-edge chips
Don't even act? The former US ambassador to China cried bitterly: he did not want China to make high-end chips.
The first thing the Biden team will do at the start of 2024 is to encourage China to make chips.
According to **, due to the personal intervention of Joe Biden Biden (Joe Biden Biden) in the United States, the Netherlands suspended and lifted ASML's supply license for lithography machines to China on the spot, resulting in orders from some Chinese companies being affected.
Four of the five major shareholders of the Dutch ASML are Americans, and ASML, as the boss of the capitalist world, obviously does not dare to disobey.
Many politicians in the United States are pretending to be stupid and aiming the finger at China's nuclear **.
This was made by former US Ambassador to China Gary Locke in an interview with CNBC on NBC.
Regarding the fact that the United States is blocking the Dutch lithography machine giant ASML from exporting lithography machines to China, he frankly said that the United States is doing it with China"War"！
Chips"War"It can be divided into three levels.
We all know that competition between countries is multifaceted, it depends on various forces, such as science and technology, the economy is the foundation of development, science and technology are the factors of production, and the military is the most direct proof of this.
For example, a long time ago, the United States turned off the Global Positioning System (GPS), which led to the failure of all our missiles, and the Chinese also realized the importance of nuclear technology.
In the field of global positioning system (GPS), China already has the Beidou navigation system and has made great progress in military chips.
At the same time, the United States also uses this as an excuse to restrict Chinese chips: they are afraid that China will use advanced chips for military purposes.
However, the military sphere is only one aspect, there is also competition in the economic aspect.
In the first decade of the twenty-first century, the United States had the largest chip industry. In other words, Nvidia and Apple will be able to design high-end chips and outsource them to Asian foundries.
This monopoly has been broken by Huawei's Kirin Company, when Huawei designed powerful chips for home phones. It also forced the Biden team to suspend everything on Huawei's production line for the past 4 years**.
Finally, technology plays an important role in this.
It is undeniable that the United States is still a leader in semiconductors, big artificial intelligence models, commercial spaceflight, and is a "huge leader."
However, technology isn't just that"Sophisticated"It also needs abundant energy production, complete infrastructure, and huge human and material resources to support these once neglected fields.
Electricity is the foundation of industrial development, and no matter how good EUV lithography technology is, it is inseparable from electricity. China has basically become the world's leader, and it is only natural that it has laid a solid foundation in science and technology.
China already has twice as much as the United States, five times as much as India, and dozens of times as much as Vietnam"Little China"of Vietnam.
From the military, the economy, science and technology, these are the true portrayals of the chip war, which is why American politicians are so nervous.
