Showdown? Europe backtracked, Ali fulfilled its promises, foreign media: underestimated China's determination
A few days ago, Alibaba Group announced that it will invest 200 billion yuan in independent chip research and development in the next three years. This news has aroused great attention in the global technology industry, and people from all walks of life have expressed different views on it.
The research and development of Alibaba's chips involves computing, communications, storage and other fields, Alibaba Group CEO Daniel Zhang said that Alibaba is not just to make chips, but to promote more digital transformation and upgrading solutions through chips. At the same time, Alibaba Group has also focused its research and development on AI chip processes and applications, making it the "artificial intelligence brain" of the future Internet of Things and smart hardware.
This major move has also attracted the attention of European politics. Previously, some European countries advocated so-called "digital sovereignty", claiming to establish their own supply chains in the fields of cloud computing and big data to achieve independent control. However, the breakthrough of Ali's chip will undoubtedly have a great impact on Europe's independent digital strategy.
Against this backdrop, some European politicians and media cannot help but have some concerns about China's determination and ability. The Financial Times article pointed out that although Sino-US relations were once tense, in the field of chips, China has begun to catch up with and even surpass the United States. Alibaba Group's chip breakthrough once again proves China's technological strength and determination in the chip field, and its position in the global technology pattern is constantly improving.
However, China's rise in the chip field has also aroused the disgust and questioning of some Western forces, and some parliamentarians and media in European countries have published articles, claiming that China's development in the chip field is a threat to the Western world, and China's use of chips for commercial and military interests should be sanctioned.
Such remarks are obviously biased and jealous, and the "digital sovereignty" advocated by some European countries is not meaningless, but the breakthrough of Ali's chips has been obstructed and sanctioned, which is also unfair and equal. China's digitalization process is driven by market mechanisms, unlike the Western model of state capitalism, so it needs to respect China's development model and choice.
In fact, the breakthrough of Ali chips is far more than China's own technological strength and innovation ability, but also the best proof that China's investment and layout in the field of science and technology have begun to pay off. The Chinese government encourages enterprises to strengthen independent innovation, promote digital transformation and intelligent manufacturing, which not only promotes China's scientific and technological development and economic growth, but also contributes to the upgrading and change of the global scientific and technological landscape.
Overall, the breakthrough of Ali chips is undoubtedly an important milestone in China's digital process and a reshuffle of the global technology pattern. China has developed its own technical route and industrial ecology in the chip field, and will become one of the leaders of the global chip industry in the future. Western countries should pay more attention to China's scientific and technological innovation achievements and learn from its successful experience, rather than fear and rejection. Of course, China also needs to continue to adhere to independent innovation in the field of chips, promote the acceleration of de-Americanization and de-foreignization, and effectively protect its core interests and security
