Where should China go from here? The lithography machine crisis has intensified, and China's domestic chip crisis has intensified.
Lithography machine is a vital equipment in semiconductor manufacturing, the upgrading of lithography machine related technology and the improvement of level is very critical to the manufacture of chips, but also a breakthrough in chip technology.
The mastery and improvement of lithography machine technology has played a decisive role in the progress of chip manufacturing.
However, with the control of the state regarding lithography machine technology, the challenges and difficulties of "Chinese core" manufacturing are increasing day by day.
The United States and the Netherlands jointly "bright sword" limited core
The rising of Huawei's 5G technology has kicked off the chip war between China and the United States. As one of China's largest technology giants, Huawei is regarded as a thorn in the side of the technology field by the United States.
The continuous progress of Huawei Technology, especially the leading position of 5G technology, and the development of Snapdragon chips have caused the United States to fear that its hegemony will be threatened.
In the scientific and technological struggle between China and the United States, the most important scientific and technological weapon, chips, has naturally become an important part of the United States' restrictions on China's science and technology.
The leap in Huawei's chip manufacturing technology has made the United States feel that its position has been shaken. Therefore, in order to stabilize its own position, the United States, the leader in the field of chip manufacturing, the United States, Japan and the Netherlands recently jointly restricted China's chip manufacturing field.
In order to maintain its hegemonic position in science and technology, the United States, which holds absolute leadership, has prevented the progress of China's chip field and the leap of technology.
Whether it is the traditional chip manufacturing giant TSMC or the lithography machine giant ASML, the right to speak in the chip field is still controlled by the United States, the technology hegemon.
Therefore, under the pressure of the United States, ASML and various Japanese technology companies were banned by the United States to limit their economic growth.
The restrictions and sanctions of the United States have greatly restricted the overall development of various technology companies.
In order to stop the progress of China's chip field, and even more to limit the pace of China's progress, the United States has done everything it can.
It not only restricts and supervises its own industries, but also extends its hand to other countries, and attempts to use other countries to achieve the purpose of isolating China and restricting China.
At the same time, the Dutch ASML and many Japanese chip technology top streams are included in the "export control list", and the export of lithography machines to China is restricted.
The United States has continuously escalated sanctions against China in all aspects, from unilateral economic sanctions at home to joint sanctions in various fields.
As the most important technical equipment in chip manufacturing, lithography machines have always been the object of competition for various technology companies.
It is not only the technical difficulty, but also the key to making breakthroughs in the core technology of the chip. The technical use of lithography machines plays an important role in the research and development of chip cores.
When China's chips are about to make a breakthrough, the United States has included ASML in the export control list and restricted exports to China, which is undoubtedly an attempt to seal the future of Chinese chips.
The crisis of lithography machines and the leap challenge of semiconductor technology have made the road to the improvement of China's chip technology crisis.
"China Core is completely unrecruited?"
From the restriction and control of EUV lithography machine to the supply restriction of DUV lithography machine, the United States is blocking China's chip development step by step.
The continuous pressure of the United States has suppressed the cooperation between chip industry giants and Chinese technology companies in various countries. Pulling others into the water without regard for the interests of others has always been the tough style of the US government.
And many American media also gloated, claiming that "China Core is completely out of recruitment", but is this really the case?
The constant pressure of the US government has caused the economic performance of technology giants such as ASML to decline. In order to circumvent the restrictions imposed by the ban, tech giants have made corresponding economic adjustments to their China market strategies.
5G chip technology has become the object of cooperation between various companies. The alarmism of the American media is very ridiculous.
Where the trade war should go
In the increasingly intensifying trade war between China and the United States, this war without gunsmoke fully demonstrates the shortcomings of US hegemony, and at the same time intends to drive China's economic development to a dead end.
However, today, when China is becoming increasingly powerful, the prospects of "China Core" are bright. In the trade dispute between China and the United States, the most smell of gunsmoke is competition in the field of science and technology.
In the past, China broke through layers of blockade of nuclear weapons technology and successfully achieved the great cause of two bombs and one satellite.
Then now China can also break through the bottleneck of technology and use the "Chinese heart" to manufacture "Chinese core".
The United States will lose itself in the smoke of self-righteous hegemonism that it has created, and will continue to decline in its dream of world hegemony.
Whether we have every reason to believe that the future development of China's chips and the promotion of China's economy and trade will let us wait and see on the world economic stage.
The development of "China Chip" and where the Sino-US trade war will go will also become the focus of world attention, and will become a hot topic in various fields.
Can "China Chip" point the way for the future of the Sino-US trade dispute, and can it play a decisive role in the future economic competition between the two countries? The future development process will be clear.
