Recently, the U.S. "chip war" against China is likely to escalate. First, the Netherlands and Japan, under pressure from the U.S., agreed to initiate controls on the export of semiconductor manufacturing equipment to China; later, foreign media reported that the U.S. government is considering cutting off All connections between U.S. suppliers and Huawei, prohibiting U.S. suppliers from supplying Huawei with any products; the Biden administration is also preparing to issue an executive order to restrict U.S. investment in the sensitive Chinese technology industry... 2023 will soon begin However, the United States has continued to make evil moves to curb the development of China's semiconductor-related industries.

　　In recent years, the United States has never stopped cracking down on China's "chip" development. While precisely suppressing China's semiconductor production and supply chain, it is building a "de-sinicized" semiconductor industry chain alliance in an attempt to completely "get rid of" the advanced semiconductor industry. China.

Whether it is to win over South Korea to establish a "technical alliance", or to establish a chip "four-party alliance" with South Korea, Japan and Taiwan, or to establish a semiconductor industry chain through mechanisms such as the "four-party mechanism" of the United States, Japan, India and Australia, and the "Indo-Pacific Economic Framework"" In order to make up for its shortcomings in the field of chip manufacturing and maintain its position in the global chip industry Dominance.

　　However, the US's "core tactics" against China with great fanfare is also "injury to the enemy by one thousand and self-injury to eight hundred".

Recently, Lam Group, a well-known chip manufacturing equipment supplier in the United States, announced that affected by the latest round of export ban on chip manufacturing equipment to China, the group will lay off 1,300 full-time employees and plans to lay off 1,400 temporary employees in the next two quarters.

The global lithography machine giant ASML recently warned that the ban on the export of semiconductor manufacturing equipment to China may lead to higher semiconductor prices.

According to US media analysis, after the US government imposed brutal suppression on China's chip and semiconductor industries, many US companies have suffered greatly, including electronic design automation tool developers, chip designers, wafer manufacturing equipment manufacturers, and chip manufacturers themselves. wait.

　　The so-called suppression of China's advanced semiconductor industry by the United States has dragged down the global semiconductor industry chain and supply chain.

The semiconductor industry is a high-tech and knowledge-intensive industry, and a closely linked global semiconductor industry chain has long been formed.

According to estimates by professionals, based on specialized division of labor, the entire production process of semiconductor products needs to cross the borders of various countries more than 70 times, and the whole process takes 100 days.

Although the US semiconductor industry has a strong foundation, it is relatively weak in manufacturing capabilities, especially in advanced manufacturing processes, and relies heavily on East Asia.

Even if the United States tries its best to guide the advanced chip production and supply chain to the regional development of the "small circle" led by the United States, the regional distribution and interdependence of the global semiconductor-related industries are difficult to change.

The United States has vigorously "reshaped" and "de-Sinicized" the semiconductor industry chain, severely damaging the global semiconductor industry.

　　Chips are the core of the global future industry, and the development of the chip industry is inseparable from the participation of all countries in the world.

In recent years, the United States has taken a series of unilateral actions, successively promulgating the "Innovation and Competition Act", "American Competition Act of 2022", "Chips and Science Act", using technological hegemony to consolidate its leading edge in technology; It forced Intel, TSMC, Samsung and other chip manufacturers to set up factories in the United States, trying to ensure the United States' global leadership in the chip field.

　　In the short term, the United States has indeed caused troubles for the development of China's chip industry and related industries, and has reaped real benefits.

But in the long run, the hysterical suppression by the United States has forced China's chip industry to make continuous breakthroughs, depriving itself of the huge Chinese market, which will eventually greatly weaken the innovation willingness and ability of American technology companies and damage the development of the global chip industry.
