Semiconductors (chips) are the core of modern science and technology, but the "chip blockade" plan of the United States and the West is creating huge obstacles for China's semiconductor industry. This game in the field of technology is not only affecting China, but also stirring up the global market.
Semiconductors, which sound lofty, are actually the "small chips" that we can't live without every day. Mobile phones, computers, cars, and even smart homes, which ones are missing chips?
It can be said that chips are the "heart" of electronic products. This small silicon wafer almost holds up the entire sky of modern technology.
The technological hegemony of the United States and the West has always been a common topic. This time, they are targeting chips and want to impose a so-called "chip blockade" on China.
This is not a small fight, but a real move. As early as the last century, the United States and Western countries began the research and development of chip technology. At that time, China was still crossing the river by feeling the stones.
After decades of accumulation and development, the United States and the West have an absolute right to speak in the field of chips. Their chip technology is already at the forefront, and we're still catching up.
Now, the United States and the West want to use their technological advantages to give China's semiconductor industry a "bottom of the kettle". To put it bluntly, they just don't give us good fruits to eat, and want us to "get stuck" in the high-tech field. This move not only brought trouble to China's chip industry, but also had a huge impact on the entire global market.
Domestic chip companies such as Huawei and SMIC are the first to bear the brunt and are forced to "tighten their belts" to engage in research and development. And those international giants, such as TSMC, Qualcomm, Samsung, Intel, have not been spared.
The equilibrium of the market is broken, and no one is at peace. In particular, TSMC and Samsung, as the bosses of chip foundry, were "invited" by the United States to build factories at their doorstep.
On the surface, this trick is mutually beneficial, but in fact, "the drunkard's intention is not to drink", the purpose is to help Intel make a comeback and regain a firm foothold in the field of chip manufacturing.
In the face of such a situation, TSMC and Samsung will naturally not stand idly by. After a period of struggle and gaming, they decided to reverse their strategy and increase local investment.
This is also a last resort, after all, the Chinese market is too important for them. TSMC has begun to expand the production capacity of its local fabs, while Samsung plans to invest 300 trillion won in South Korea to build the world's largest chip manufacturing base.
This move is quite crucial, after all, "the tree is dead, the person is alive", and in their own territory, they can always find a way out.
Why is the Chinese market so important? The answer is simple, because China is the country with the largest demand for chips in the world. TSMC and Samsung, once they lose the Chinese market, life will be much more difficult.
Although the U.S. sanctions have made Chinese chip companies suffer a lot, they have also stimulated our independent research and development motivation.
In recent years, China's chip industry has made a lot of progress, especially the emergence of the Kirin 9000S chip, which has given the United States and the West a resounding slap in the face. The performance of this chip has reached the world's advanced level, which proves that we have made a huge breakthrough in chip design and manufacturing capabilities.
Not only that, China has also achieved a breakthrough in domestic lithography machine technology. This is the core technology of chip manufacturing, and once mastered, it is equivalent to getting the "key" to enter the field of high-end chips.
The breakthrough in lithography machine technology means that we are full of hope for the future of the semiconductor industry. Now, China's chip industry has entered the "fast lane" of development, and the state is also vigorously supporting, and funds and resources are continuously invested.
The government attaches great importance to personnel training and increases scientific research expenses, which can be said to be the strength of the whole country to support the development of China's semiconductor industry.
In this context, China's chip industry is no longer the "soft persimmon" of the past. Our scientific and technological personnel have been tackling key problems day and night, from scratch, from weak to strong, step by step, and finally ushered in the dawn.
During this time, many "black technologies" have emerged in China's semiconductor industry, which has impressed the world. For example, the performance of the chip developed by a domestic enterprise is comparable to that of an international manufacturer;
For another example, our self-developed lithography machine already has mass production capacity. These achievements are the result of the hard work of countless scientific and technological personnel.
But we can't take it lightly, after all, the competition in the semiconductor industry is global, and technological progress is changing with each passing day.
Only by continuous innovation and continuous breakthroughs can we remain invincible in this battle without gunpowder. China's chip industry is rising at an unprecedented speed.
This is not only a victory for science and technology, but also a pride for the nation. Every chip is the crystallization of our wisdom and sweat, and the result of the silent dedication of countless scientific and technological workers.
There is still a long way to go, but we have reason to believe that China's semiconductor industry will usher in a more brilliant tomorrow.
