Who is the most panicked in the world today? That must be the United States, not only the domestic economy is in a mess, the Federal Reserve's continuous interest rate hikes, resulting in various countries are frantically selling US bonds. Now, his chip alliance is also in trouble, and America's die-hard friends announced their dissolution overnight, so how far can the United States go to dominate the chip field?
On the evening of July 7, the Netherlands announced an event that shocked the world, Dutch Prime Minister Rutte Mark Rutte announced his retirement from politics, and this news was also announced that the leadership of the Dutch government will resign en masse! You know, Rutte is a crazy supporter of the United States, and now his departure can be said to have caught the United States by surprise.
The Netherlands and the United States blockade of Chinese chips
The mainland has been committed to the independent research and development of chips in recent years, mainly because of the United States' suppression of China in this regard. The United States not only suppressed China's independent development, but even joined hands with the Netherlands and Japan to restrict the export of chips to China, in short, doing everything possible to hinder China's development.
As the prime minister of the Netherlands, Rutte is also the most ardent follower of the United States, as one of the younger brothers of the United States, Rutte obeys all the decisions of the United States, especially on China's chip exports, and has been closely following the pace of the United States, which has dealt a heavy blow to China.
Not long ago, the United States also joined hands with the Netherlands to introduce the latest chip bill to China, according to some regulations of the bill, the Netherlands will not be able to sell to Chinese lithography machines. This move has made the development of China's chip industry difficult, although China is also working hard to develop it, but it is still far behind the Dutch technology.
The United States has seized this weakness of China, so it restricts the development of Chinese companies everywhere in this aspect, and China is one of the largest importers of chips, such measures not only harm China's interests, but also make the survival of Chinese companies more difficult.
China is under pressure to fight back
China is indeed far behind the international leading companies in chip manufacturing, but in the face of the US technology blockade, China has not flinched at all, but is struggling to survive in the cracks and striving to achieve independent research and development. What the United States did not expect was that even with such deliberation, China would still be able to achieve some small achievements.
And China, as the largest importer of chips, the Netherlands can get super lucrative benefits on Chinese orders every year, but since joining the US camp, it has restricted chip exports to China, making the income of Dutch chips plummet, which is a huge blow to the Netherlands, and his American allies will naturally not solve this problem for them, and the Netherlands can only consider itself unlucky.
As an economic power, coupled with the US dollar backing it, the United States naturally has enough capital to confront China. But countries like the Netherlands obviously can't afford to play, the Netherlands still depends on China, the total trade between the Netherlands and China last year alone exceeded 860 billion yuan, which makes it difficult for them to really abandon the Chinese market.
In the face of such blockade and suppression, China has not only been able to fully develop independently, but also increased the export of some chip raw materials. Countries such as the Netherlands and Japan do not have chip raw materials, or need to spend higher prices to buy raw materials, which has a great impact on them, so now these "allies" of the United States are all complaining.
The U.S. chip industry is also not optimistic
The United States is really relying on its own strength to make the entire international chip industry a miasma. It should have been a project that could be developed together and profited together, and no one benefited with the participation of the United States, because the United States did this only to maintain its own hegemonic position, so as not to consider the life or death of others.
According to some relevant data, the loss of the US chip industry has reached 14 trillion in recent years, including giant companies such as Qualcomm and Intel. With the development of science and technology and the increase in demand for chips, these companies should logically usher in the peak of the economy, but now they have suffered heavy losses, and it is difficult not to associate this situation with the hegemonism of the United States.
Under the ravages of the US government, the financial statements of these companies are getting uglier year by year, and they can only find opportunities to escape some policy restrictions in the United States, and China, as the largest chip importer, has naturally become their primary target, so more and more companies are going to China, hoping to have some opportunities for cooperation.
Epilogue:
The United States always wants to unite with others to suppress China, but what the United States did not expect is that in this process, many "allies" gradually see his true face and are now leaving him, so that soon the American chip alliance may no longer exist!
