Lao Mei began to exert efforts in the semiconductor industry, intending to come up with $52 billion in subsidies to further suppress China in semiconductor strength. It is understood that about 75% of the $52 billion subsidy this time, that is, nearly $39 billion will be used for the chip manufacturing industry, and nearly 20% of the subsidy will be used for the construction of chip research and development centers.
The Old America will directly hand over most of the subsidies to the "American Semiconductor Alliance" to be responsible for the application and management of funds.
What is the "Semiconductor Alliance"
The Semiconductor Alliance is not actually an official organization, but a non-governmental organization spontaneously organized by many of the top semiconductor giants in the old United States. The founding members of this organization are all leading companies such as Qualcomm, Intel, Google, and Microsoft who are very important to the development of the global semiconductor industry.
They also set up this organization for a clear purpose, which is to combine forces and ensure their leading position on the world. Or to put it more clearly, their purpose is "monopoly." We can see that through the integration of the alliance, Laomei has achieved a series of technologies from lithography machines to chips, and Laomei holds a complete set of supply chains.
In this case, as long as the alliance member companies act in unison, then their every move can affect the direction of the global semiconductor industry. In this way, in terms of technology monopoly, bargaining power, etc., US companies can occupy a huge advantage, if they do not listen to the mercy of US companies, they are likely to encounter a series of technological blockades.
The U.S. Semiconductor Alliance is "dangerous and close"
The relationship between the American Semiconductor Alliance and China has always been very complicated, which also depends on whether it is a non-governmental organization established by the United States enterprises, does not represent the official, and only considers the interests of the enterprise, so its attitude The market will continue to change with the changes in the market situation.
When the old United States imposes a technical blockade on Chinese enterprises, the American Semiconductor Alliance has always been the most powerful accomplice, because the technical blockade against China can prevent China's semiconductor industry from developing too fast, which can ensure that member companies always maintain their advantages and dominance.
Such as chip core architecture, lithography machine core technology, 5G radio frequency technology and other important technologies, the U.S. Semiconductor Alliance is wary of China everywhere, do not give Chinese students, Chinese scientific and technological personnel, Chinese enterprises any opportunity to contact, and even refuse to carry out in-depth technical exchanges and technical cooperation with Chinese enterprises.
However, on the other hand, the US Semiconductor Alliance has always been opposed to the excessive pursuit and interception of Huawei by the Old United States. When the Old United States banned U.S. companies from exporting semiconductor products to China, the U.S. Semiconductor Alliance took the lead in opposing it. The organization believes that China is a very important market for U.S. companies, and it is very irrational to blindly cut off all trade, which will lead to great losses for U.S. companies.
At first, Lao Mei asked Intel, Qualcomm and other companies not to sell chips to Huawei, this decision was immediately opposed, they believe that Lao Mei this kind of target in the consumption of Huawei at the same time, but also produced a huge internal friction, so Lao Mei this behavior is very irrational.
In the end, with the efforts of many parties, Qualcomm and Intel resumed cooperation with Huawei, which also helped Huawei further stabilize the situation.
$52 billion became the last bet of Lao Mei
In fact, the supply chain of The Semiconductor Industry in Laomei is not invulnerable. After the implementation of the deindustrialization policy, Laomei began to focus on the core technology field, and the energy invested in the manufacturing field began to slowly decrease. Therefore, although Laomei masters a lot of core technologies in the field of lithography machine research and development and chip research and development, Laomei has shortcomings in manufacturing and cannot independently manufacture lithography machines and chips.
This also allows Lao Mei to hold a relatively heavy right to speak, but also by other countries and other foreign companies restricted, so this time Lao Mei invested 52 billion US dollars, is to revitalize the momentum, improve the domestic chip manufacturing capacity, only in this way to meet the ambition of Lao Mei to dominate the world.
At present, Qualcomm, Intel and other companies are in a hurry, we began to actively create chip factories, but also actively apply for official subsidies from Laomei, with official support Qualcomm and Intel and other companies in chip manufacturing progress will be more rapid.
Not long ago, Intel manufactured the world's first 2nm chip, which not only allowed Intel to show its strength in chips to the world, but also made Chinese companies feel the crisis, if there is no way to get more progress, Huawei will be far behind.
summary
All in all, Lao Mei invested $52 billion, which means that it has realized its shortcomings in chip manufacturing and intends to do its best to make up for this disadvantage. In the case of a deep scientific and technological background, the progress of LaoMei in the field of chip manufacturing will be very rapid, which will lead to the situation of China's semiconductor industry becoming more and more dangerous, and the only thing that can be done now is to accelerate the development of domestic semiconductors, only in this way can Laomei be able to achieve blockade before it can become stronger.
At present, there is an unstoppable trend in the country, and everyone is united only to complete one goal, that is, to break through the blockade, and now this momentum has shocked Lao Mei, and it has to admit that China can no longer be ignored, and China has risen.
It is about the dominance of the chip field, and the United States is desperate! 52 billion into a "bet"
Invest 52 billion, Lao Mei is going to start the "Armageddon"?
