Recently, there was a shocking news from the outside world: TSMC, the world's leading chip manufacturing giant, announced that it would no longer build factories in the United States! This news was like a bombshell that shook the entire tech industry. What's even more shocking is that the leader behind this decision turned out to be TSMC's chairman Zhang Zhongmou. Foreign media have commented that Zhang Zhongmou's move can be called "old and calculating", what happened? Come and uncover this earth-shattering mystery with us!
America's history of plunder: from Operation Paperclip to the CHIPS Act.
Looking back at history, we find that the United States has always made it its mission to plunder the technology of other countries. Since Operation Paperclip after World War II, the United States has set its sights on top scientists in Germany and other countries, trying to achieve absolute superiority in the field of science and technology. In the 80s, the United States suppressed the semiconductor industry in Japan and other countries, and later plundered the French energy giant Alstom by various means. These examples show that the history of the development of the United States is in fact a history of plunder, and that countries that pose a threat to the United States in the field of high technology will be ruthlessly suppressed and plundered by it.
The CHIPS Act: America's Trap?
Recently, the United States has pointed the finger at Chinese mainland, trying to block the pace of China's industrial upgrading through various means. In this process, TSMC has become the main target of the United States. The United States has introduced a high subsidy policy in an attempt to attract TSMC and other companies to build factories in the United States. However, TSMC announced that it will no longer build factories in the United States, does this mean that the American chips bill is a huge trap? Foreign media have commented one after another, does Zhang Zhongmou's move once again show his old scheming?
Zhang Zhongmou's counterattack: postpone mass production and safeguard core interests.
The United States may have rejoiced too soon. TSMC announced that it will postpone mass production plans at its U.S. factory, and is also actively promoting the development and mass production of more advanced semiconductor processes in Taiwan. This means that factories in the United States may become representatives of "backward technology". What's even more shocking is that TSMC said that it would not rule out the possibility of being a major base in Taiwan, China, which makes people wonder what Zhang Zhongmou means?
Challenges and opportunities: the rise of China's chips.
In the face of US suppression and plunder, can Chinese chip companies continue to move forward? In fact, the rise of China's chips has become an inevitable trend. Huawei's Kirin 9000s has brought the domestic core to the height of 7nm, and in terms of research and development of 2nm-level process, China is also in full swing. Zhang Zhongmou's counterattack may be just the beginning, what changes will the rise of China's chips bring to the world's science and technology pattern, let's wait and see!
Zhang Zhongmou's actions are eye-catching, and his cunning once again shows his extraordinary wisdom. In the challenges and opportunities faced by China's chip enterprises, we also see the huge potential of China's technology. Let us look forward to the fact that in the near future, China Chip will be able to achieve 100% domestic substitution and make greater contributions to the world's scientific and technological progress!
