As the world's largest semiconductor consumer market, China has attracted a large number of foreign-funded enterprises, including giants in this field. Under the development of the mobile Internet, the semiconductor market is also expanding, and the importance of chips is self-evident.
However, the United States used the chip bill to curb the development of Chinese companies, and even publicly suppressed Chinese companies, which hindered the development of China's semiconductors, so China also began to fight back. Meiman Technology announced that it would withdraw from China, and foreign media said that this was the result of the ban on Micron.
The All-American Chip giant announces important decision
According to Vietnamese media news, at present, the United States Meiman Electronic Technology Company has established a design center in Vietnam, or will move the production line to Vietnam. At present, Meiman Technology has 300 employees in Vietnam, mainly engaged in chip design.
Subsequently, Meiman Technology announced an important decision to completely withdraw from the Chinese market and will not retain any industries in China. At the same time, Meiman Technology also confirmed the media report, saying that it will build a research and development center in Vietnam.
It is reported that Meiman Technology is the world's leading network processor supplier, which can independently complete the design, development and production, and has its own sales channels. At present, Meiman Technology's products have a strong market share in the global cloud computing market.
The withdrawal of Meiman Technology from the Chinese market has attracted global attention. Especially after the Micron ban, many people will associate two things. So is this really the case, what does Meiman Technology's withdrawal from China have to do with China?
Micron incident
In March, the Cyberspace Administration of China announced that it would inspect Micron and informed Micron of the news. After receiving the notice, Micron Group also responded, expressing support for the CAC's inspection work.
In May, Micron was found to have products that endangered network security, and the Cyberspace Administration of China banned the sale of them. Once this incident occurred, it caused a lot of controversy internationally, most of it from the United States.
U.S. Commerce Department officials believe that China's ban on Micron sales is aimed at the United States. Retaliation for U.S. sanctions against Chinese companies. However, this is not the case, the Chinese market is Micron's main market, so operating here must comply with Chinese regulations.
This time, Micron involved areas that China does not allow, and stepped on the red line, naturally it will not be ignored by China. As for whether China retaliates against the United States, from the result point of view, this is obviously not the case.
Foreign media said that things were making a big deal
This time, Meiman Technology announced a complete withdrawal from the Chinese market, and some foreign media said that China made a big deal out of the Micron incident. If Micron adheres to Chinese rules and safeguards safety issues on the corresponding products, there will be no ban.
So it wasn't China that made a big deal out of it, it was Micron itself that messed things up. This time, Meimer Technology withdrew from China and Micron was banned from sale, seemingly related, but in fact there was no connection at all.
Since last year, Meiman Technology has been gradually withdrawing from the Chinese market, and has made a layout in Vietnam, obviously wanting to withdraw, but planning in advance. At the same time, the Chinese employees of Meiman Technology also received layoff notices as early as a few years ago.
Compared with Micron, which was investigated in March, Meima Technology's plan to move to Vietnam began to be implemented as early as last year. After this announcement, it also shows that Meiman Technology has completed the relevant work and can leave the Chinese market without burden.
What about other U.S. companies
The current Chinese market, especially the semiconductor market, has long become an important development area for global enterprises. Musk's visit to China at the end of May also proved his recognition of the Chinese market. And on the day of the visit to China, Tesla's stock rose by 180 billion.
In addition, the global chip manufacturer NVIDIA also attaches great importance to the Chinese market. The current demand for AI computing power chips in China has also led NVIDIA founder Huang Jenxun to announce a visit to China. It has been confirmed that discussions will be held with Chinese companies.
It can be seen that these US companies have not been affected by the Micron incident, and the Chinese side has not inspected them. Obviously, it shows that Micron will be banned because of its own problems, and the fundamental reason lies with itself.
Linking Meima Technology's withdrawal from the Chinese market with China's ban on Micron sales is obviously deliberate and deliberately targeting China. These foreign media reports are biased and speculate arbitrarily without real evidence, in order to slander China.
For American companies that want to develop in the Chinese market and want to cooperate with Chinese companies, China has always been very welcoming. As long as both sides adhere to the concept of mutual benefit, the Chinese market will also repay these enterprises with practical actions. But if it is ill-intentioned and wants to smash the pot while eating it, then China will also fight back.
