The United States wants to replace China with "curry-flavored apples."
Fortunately, China had the foresight to implement a high-end industrial substitution program in advance, otherwise it might not even have the basic strength to resist today's step-by-step strangulation by the United States.
It is reported that with the help of Apple, Indian partners launched the iPhone 15 with a "curry flavor" for the first time. Apple announced that this is a historic step that will completely change the global smartphone manufacturing landscape.
However, we all know that India's industrial strength is only worthy of "OEM production" and plays the role of workers. All it can do is open its market to the United States in exchange for U.S. technology investment, hoping that India will leap directly from a small manufacturing country to a manufacturing powerhouse, separated by thousands of rivers and mountains.
However, this does not prevent India from showing itself as a "cosmic power". According to the Modi government, India will soon be able to produce high-end chips comparable to Qualcomm, Intel and TSMC, and India is only one step away from growing into the world's chip manufacturing center.
It is worth mentioning: In order to cooperate with the US China containment plan, Apple began to give most of the orders to its partners in India.
For example, the proportion of iPhone 15 assembled in Indian factories has risen rapidly from 3% to 7% or more, and with the continuous influx of downstream manufacturers such as Micron Technology into India, Apple's industrial chain tends to be perfect, and it is estimated that in time, Apple will no longer rely on China's production lines and workers.
Huawei's king returns to help China win back a game
Apple's production line in China has become a general trend, so it is almost necessary to inform every Chinese consumer of its plan.
China cannot sit idly by, and must use all means to avoid unilateral decoupling between the United States and China, and avoid the imbalance of the pattern of "fighting and cooperating" and "fighting without breaking" between China and the United States. Fortunately, Huawei's return as the king has helped China save a game in the technology war with the United States.
It is understood that MATE60 basically adopts pure domestic technology and patents, which is equivalent to completely bypassing the US technology blockade, allowing China to compete with the United States in the field of high-end chips and smartphones, which was unimaginable 4 years ago.
Only by being self-reliant and self-reliant and not relying on others can we gain the respect of our opponents and the world, which should be the biggest lesson left by the Sino-US science and technology war.
Let's think deeply: assuming that there are no Chinese manufacturers in the field of smartphones, and China and the United States are in a state of war, once the United States shuts down Google, Microsoft, Android and Apple systems, will it be difficult for China to cook without rice, and all the application ecology built on the above systems will be paralyzed.
The United States restricts Huawei while requiring Apple and other companies to transfer production lines, not focusing on a momentary trend, presumably the United States has long anticipated the Sino-US showdown. And in order to minimize losses and give itself the absolute initiative, the United States will accelerate the hollowing out of China's production capacity from now on.
Can you still say that the development ideas of "take-ism" and "trade, industry, and technology" are in line with China's national conditions?
Don't underestimate the consequences of the tech war, which should be the last area where China and the United States fight before the break. Once the United States finds itself unable to limit the growth and development of its opponents, then the United States will surely show its murderous side. This is determined by the national conditions in which US capital is in power, and it is not possible for politicians or groups such as Biden to change it.
We have noticed that the United States has rarely started a chip "price war" with China. It is reported that from now on, SK and Samsung's factories in China will no longer be affected by the US sanctions against China, and can expand production capacity and, depending on the situation, import tools and equipment from the United States for the production of low-end chips.
The United States seems to have changed its style of play, no longer sticking to fundamentally limiting China's independent innovation capabilities, which China must be careful against.
In the Sino-US science and technology war, we cannot expect the United States to be soft
Simply predict Apple's next move, which may help us better understand the meaning behind the Sino-US technology war.
First, the withdrawal of American companies from China has become a trend, and Apple, Micron Technology and even Tesla may become the marks of the era of peaceful exchanges between China and the United States.
Second, India actively absorbs low-end production capacity and grows rapidly, which will definitely impact China's status as the world's factory.
Third, as China and the United States shift from finance and ideology to technology and manufacturing, China's geopolitical environment will be unprecedentedly tense.
Soldiers will block the water and cover the soil! With China's current strength, we believe that the United States should not take advantage of the obvious advantage in the game with China, at most "five or five". In the eyes of Huawei and other companies, the restrictions and blockades of the United States are equivalent to creating a "catfish effect" for themselves, giving themselves a sense of urgency and crisis.
If you do not work hard and do not seek development, but always think of limiting and suppressing others, I am afraid that the trick of the United States is also like this.
As for the war between China and the United States over the Taiwan Strait, the South China Sea and even the peninsula, I think the initiative is in China's hands. Unless the United States is willing to bet on the fate of the country and China to play a mortal game. Otherwise, any China-related move by the United States can only be regarded as a bluff.
Thanks to Huawei, the Chinese for taking a bad breath, so that Apple is no longer self-righteous, and the United States has seen China's strong determination to resist hegemony.
