In the 19th century, the United States attracted the attention of the world with the slogan of "democracy and freedom, science without borders" and absorbed many talents, thus giving birth to today's situation of dominating the field of cutting-edge science and technology. Today, however, the situation has been reversed, and the aura of the past has been stripped away from reality. This article explores the intricacies of technology and international relations from the rise of technology in the United States to today's disruptive changes.
At that time, the United States, relying on a free environment and unlimited innovation potential, attracted a large number of top international talents. This innovative force has pushed the United States to the forefront of science and technology. Today, however, the picture is different, and the once vaunted "science without borders" has become dim. Lao Mei's various "improper" behaviors reveal that the so-called "science without borders" is just a fig leaf for them to hide their true intentions.
Looking back, Huawei, as an outstanding representative of China's private enterprises, shined in the field of 5G communication with its strong strength and technology, and Huawei mobile phones occupied market share. Huawei became the first company to launch 5G SOC chips, which made Laomei begin to feel jealous, so it imposed a series of sanctions on Huawei, especially limiting its chip supply and modifying market rules.
However, Huawei is not alone, ZTE among state-owned enterprises, chip manufacturer SMIC, and Yangtze River Storage in the field of electronic storage have all become targets of "suppression". These actions have forced China to accelerate its strategic development of self-sufficiency, not only to pay for its own enterprises and countries, but also to force Lao Mei to pay the price for its actions of cutting off supplies.
As one of the largest markets in the world, the Chinese market has great attraction for various industries. Especially in the field of semiconductors, the huge demand in the Chinese market has greatly benefited many international chip giants. However, as China gradually becomes self-sufficient, the demand for imported chips decreases, which has dealt a fatal blow to the US companies that rely on this market. The losses of these US companies in the Chinese market will cause them to continue to reduce their size or even lay off employees.
However, as the so-called "shoot yourself in the foot", US companies did not anticipate this situation. The reduced dependence on the Chinese market has made US companies lose their original support. At the same time, the rise of China's science and technology has also further strengthened its ability to innovate independently. The construction of production lines for photonic chips and quantum chips, as well as the breakthrough progress of electronic silicon-based chips, have ushered in a new era of China's semiconductor technology.
