The US technology blockade paralyzes the intelligence of Chinese workers? German media claim that raw material control is harmful to others and not to themselves
Recently, the German media published a high-profile article claiming that the US blockade of technology may lead to the danger of paralysis of the Chinese intelligence industry. According to the report, China's control measures on raw materials not only cause losses to foreign industries, but may also have a negative impact on themselves. Is that really the case?
German media claimed that raw material control was "harmful to others and not beneficial to itself", and the United States continued to increase sanctions on science and technology
On July 6, our Ministry of Commerce issued an announcement announcing; Export controls will be applied to both gallium and germanium.
Although from the current voice of the Western world, the mainland has a great impact on the countermeasures of the new round of US chip sanctions, but a recent German media report is still declaring to China: the effect of anti-sanctions is not obvious.
On July 8, German media issued an article warning to China that export restrictions on semiconductor raw materials are harmful to others and not good for themselves, and further said that "China is threatening, so what."
The various actions of the United States also show that this media report is not unfounded.
In the past few years, the United States wielded the trade stick and brazenly launched a trade war against China, but the amount of trade between China and the United States is still high, and even in some fields, China and the United States are still the largest importers and exporters to each other.
However, the United States has not undiscovered a new understanding from this, that is, to use its own scientific and technological advantages to cut off China's scientific and technological development.
This has increasingly become a key link in the many links of US sanctions against China.
Although many believe that China is a world leader in manufacturing, which is enough to make China invincible in the Sino-US competition, in reality, it is not.
If China is to compete with other countries along with the United States, the key to really attracting these countries is who is more powerful, who has more advanced technology, and who has a larger market, especially in today's world of rapid technological development.
U.S. sanctions have infiltrated artificial intelligence, and China still needs to move forward to break out of the encirclement
The U.S. semiconductor industry's restrictions remain in place in the face of China's metal export restrictions, and their next target for China is artificial intelligence.
Since it decided to completely block the development path of Chinese intelligence, the United States also grasped the main part of the contradiction, that is, the "heart" of artificial intelligence - chips.
Chips are a missing important part of China's technology puzzle, and the United States sees this and begins to make every effort to contain China's development in this area to prevent China from acquiring advanced chip technology.
However, since 2019, after three years, China's chip self-sufficiency rate has only reached 25.61%, which is still far from China's goal of achieving 70% chip self-sufficiency rate in 2025.
Facts have proved to us that it is indeed a great challenge for China to achieve this goal in just three years.
However, we cannot ignore the progress China has made in the field of chips.
The early years of US technology sanctions have made China taste the pain of chip development, Huawei, ZTE and other major scientific research projects have fallen, while many enterprises' cloud computing services have been suspended.
In response, the Chinese government has taken active steps to "give the green light" to high-end technology development, including increasing investment, providing tax incentives and supporting research and development.
At the same time, Chinese technology companies are also constantly striving to improve their R&D capabilities and innovation levels.
In fact, despite China's late starter in AI, it has been developing the technology tangibly.
In addition, China has the largest single Internet market in the world, with many excellent Internet giants such as Tencent, Baidu, Alibaba, etc. They have accumulated a lot of data in the process of growth and development, and with these accumulations, it is not empty talk for China to catch up with the United States.
Next, the key is that we can give it our all, rather than only seeing each other's taillights with the talent of American technology.
The German media's intention to favor the United States is obvious, and the effectiveness of export restrictions depends on the specific "efficacy"
In the face of the US blockade of science and technology, China can develop alternatives through the accumulation of time, but the impact of raw material sanctions imposed on foreign technology companies that are stuck in China's neck is real.
The German media hyped China's counter-sanctions as "harmful to others and not beneficial to themselves", but did not think about the United States' intention when waving the stick of scientific and technological sanctions against China?
In fact, US science and technology sanctions will not only have an impact on China's scientific and technological development in a short period of time, but also set a bad precedent in the game between countries, that is, unilateral sanctions can be carried out without a bottom line in the face of competition between countries.
While the United States may consider such a move for reasons such as national security and economic competition, such unilateral actions could lead to increased trade tensions and harm the interests of both sides.
At present, many Chinese companies have made important breakthroughs in chip design and manufacturing. Such sanctions will promote China's local chip industry to become more self-reliant, accelerate the pace of independent technological innovation, and promote China's chip industry to be more competitive.
The U.S. chip industry is inseparable from the Chinese market, and China is one of the important export markets for U.S. chip products. Sanctions will weaken the competitive position of American companies in the Chinese market and pose a threat to the long-term development of the overall US chip industry.
In this way, it is clear at a glance whose behavior is the so-called "harm to others and to oneself".
As for the "prescription" prescribed by China's Ministry of Commerce to Western countries accustomed to scientific and technological sanctions, the effect is not based on what they say, but on the "specific curative effect".
