The lithography machine is out of supply! Sitting? We take measures against each other as a last resort!
With the revocation of the export license of the lithography machine, ASML also came with the latest news, pressure from the United States, lithography equipment (already mature DUV equipment), will not be able to enter the Chinese market. It is foreseeable that this will become a lithography technique"Flashpoint"。
According to China's current demand for ASML lithography equipment and our own research and development process, although some breakthrough results have been achieved. But it is still difficult to catch up with the current level, especially with the increasing demand for domestic chips, it is already difficult to find.
Now the question is, can we sit and die?
In this context, the head of the Chinese delegation to Europe clearly pointed out that China's innovation ability in lithography technology cannot be underestimated. At the same time, we also stress that neither side wants to take extreme measures against the other, otherwise it will only hurt both sides. But if it's really hard to do that, that's the last resort.
This phrase has three meanings.
First of all, when it comes to lithography, we have to be self-reliant, no matter what the limitations. Don't underestimate the ingenuity of Chinese engineers and other scientists in lithography. That said, we're always going to have a major breakthrough, and we're unlikely to be eliminated.
Actually, this is not an exaggeration; The president of ASML used to say that Chinese scientists are admired for their tireless efforts in research and development. All of this is due to the fact that they don't have access to lithography technology, so they produce it themselves.
Even though they cut off the lithography technology, we had no choice but to produce it ourselves. Because this is the only way we can develop our own semiconductors. However, many Western countries believe that dependence on restrictions will hinder our development.
Second, we will continue to accept foreign investors now, even with a ban.
This is tantamount to a response to many domestic calls against restrictions. Because many domestic companies are now being **, many people think that we should exclude their enterprises, a posture that if you don't let me do it, I won't let you do it. From an irrational point of view, there is nothing wrong with doing so. But at the same time, it is important to note that this is a lose-lose situation. In addition, in the past, we have been committed to globalization, and we welcome more foreign mainland investors who want to raise the standard, and we will keep our commitment to all foreign companies.
So, if they play by our rules, we can't do that. In this way, we can continue to attract foreign investment.
Thirdly, if we cannot achieve a satisfactory outcome in the negotiations, we have many counter-restrictive means at our disposal. So, while we don't want to do that, we can only go so far as to limit each other. In fact, from a bystander's point of view, it is not so much about being treated unfairly by Chinese companies as it is about being treated unfairly"Warning"Finish. All in all, we won't sit idly by.
