Now supply cuts, sanctions, and bottom-ups are the words we hear most often, and all of this is rooted in the United States' belief that China's development threatens their hegemonic position. At the beginning of the chip cut, many mainland companies were affected and once fell into a defective situation, but a year or two later, the United States seems to be lifting a stone to drop its own feet, their technology stocks plummeted overnight, and even foreign media said that this behavior should stop.
The United States cut off supply
In the 21st century, the development of science and technology has become the main way of competition between countries, and in general, whoever is more advanced in science and technology has the initiative. In the years of development, the United States has emerged a large number of Internet high-tech companies, such as Apple, Microsoft, Google, Qualcomm, Tesla, to the world to deliver technology and services they earn a lot of money.
Yet watching other countries develop, the United States began to cut off supply, over the past year or two. Qualcomm, Microsoft have stopped chip exports, Ericsson, Nokia followed, China's supply cut off in addition to Huawei, there are DJI, Hikvision, and more outrageous is that North China Pharmaceutical has also been included in the list of illegal collection.
We know that this is a move made by the United States to limit the development of chips in other countries. In the case of China, in the past one or two years, the united states has imposed really harsh sanctions, not only not accepting Chinese science and engineering students to study abroad, but also listing entities. Now, this behavior of the United States seems to be lifting a stone and dropping itself on its own feet.
Forcing other countries to develop technology
When NVIDIA, Qualcomm and other chip companies cut off supply, countries have no way, can only step up the study of their own technology, such as China's Huawei, experienced the most difficult time, successfully developed the Kirin chip and Hongmeng system, the current Hongmeng system has been used in various Huawei mobile phones, users also said that there is no adverse reaction.
Coupled with independent research and development in other countries, Qualcomm has lost the position of the world's first mobile chip, and has now lost more than $8 billion in the market; in addition to Micron, revenue has decreased by $2 billion.
So a while ago, the American Semiconductor Chip Alliance asked the US government for subsidies.
It is also from here that the chip industry in various countries is booming, the monopoly position of the United States has been broken, and the technology companies that have tasted the bitter fruit have to submit applications in the hope that the government can restore their shipping freedom as soon as possible.
U.S. stocks shook and technology stocks tumbled
Not only did the sanctions not succeed, but it also accelerated the development of the industry in other countries, and here the U.S. government is not angry, but the negative impact, especially that one.
Around May 10, 2022, the US stock market was shaken, and the five major technology industries fell the hardest. Overnight, Apple fell 3.08 percent, wiping out more than $80 billion in market value, followed by Microsoft's Google shares down 3.67 percent and 2.7 percent, respectively. The market value of the U.S. tech giant shrank by $1 trillion in three days.
The reason for this situation is that many people believe that inflation in the United States is inseparable. It is true that the United States is facing high inflation and rising price indexes due to the indiscriminate issuance of currency, but on the other hand, this is also related to the early development policy of the United States, that is, prohibiting high-tech companies from supplying chips to other countries.
It's time to stop the "cut-off."
The world is closely linked, and no country's economic development can be left alone, and this kind of behavior of the United States has directly caused heavy losses to the high-tech industry, not to mention that they are facing high inflation at the moment. So the US media also stood up and said that this supply cut should be stopped.
It is true that temporary sanctions have made the United States awe-inspiring, but in the long run, this is to lift a stone and drop it on its own feet, the short pain is someone else's, and the long pain is its own. It is undeniable that their tertiary industry is very developed, but it must also be purchased by other countries to obtain profits, otherwise it is a pile of garbage in their hands.
Now even if they want to export, they are not willing to pay because the chip technology in many countries is gradually maturing. In the first quarter of 2022, China imported 24 billion fewer chips from the United States, let alone other countries.
Due to the supply cut in the United States, the interests of many enterprises have been damaged, and this has also made people hate the United States more and more, as the saying goes, happiness and misfortune depend on. As the world's attitude toward the United States changed, they eventually tasted the consequences.
However, it is undeniable that the economic technology of the United States, even if many countries have had friction with him, but still have to use their technology, the semiconductor industry still occupies most of the market share. This also means that the rise of the chip industry in other countries is quite slow and difficult, but this does not mean that it is necessary to give up, no matter when, only by mastering independent technology can we have the right to speak in the world competition.
