"Why do Americans do this to their fellow citizens?"
On August 9 this year, the United States introduced a new bill for the chip industry, which directly led to the US government banning the American chip company AMD from selling new chips to the mainland.
This news immediately attracted everyone's attention, because this bill is not only another major blow to the chip industry, but also once again exacerbates the tension of the chip war between China and the United States.
In this Sino-US chip war, SMIC, China's No. 1 chip company, has become the representative of China's chip industry, and Zhang Rujing, the founder of SMIC, is a figure known as the "father of chips".
As an important figure in China's chip industry, Zhang Rujing has played an extremely important role in the development of China's chip industry, and his experience is extremely legendary.
And just after this news came out, Taiwan suddenly announced the cancellation of the household registration of an old man, and this old man was Zhang Rujing.
Zhang Rujing has become a hot topic of speculation and chatter for a while, what kind of identity is Zhang Rujing, which has caused a reaction from the Taiwan government?
First, a small number of people who master the core technology.
Zhang Rujing is an old man over 50 years old, but his life is extremely extraordinary.
When Zhang Rujing was a child, he came to the United States from Taiwan with his parents.
In those days, as the Taiwanese government implemented the policies of the military management period, many Taiwanese went overseas with their families.
Therefore, the same is true of Zhang Rujing's family, who came to the United States early, hoping to live a better life in the United States.
Chang's father was an electrical engineer who used to be the director of the Taiwan Institute of Electronics, so Chang was exposed to various electronic devices from an early age.
After Zhang Rujing finished high school in the United States, he began to think about his life plan.
His father wanted him to carry on his career, but Zhang Rujing became interested in space and wanted to become a space scientist.
Therefore, after graduating from Princeton University in the United States in 1967, Zhang Rujing went to the University of California in the United States to continue his studies.
Zhang Rujing's main focus is astronomy, but due to various reasons, Zhang Rujing did not enter the research of space science, but chose the electronic program.
However, this decision puzzled his father, Zhang Rujing's father always thought that his son would inherit his career, but his son didn't like this business.
Therefore, his father said to him more than once: "When you finish studying space and find that there is no way to go to space, you will regret that you did not inherit my business in the first place." ”
However, Zhang Rujing thinks that being a space scientist is also very interesting.
However, after Zhang Rujing's first semester, he found that his dream was not so easy to achieve.
His mentor was also a great god in space science, but when Zhang Rujing asked him questions, he found that he didn't know anything about space science.
His mentor told him: "Space science is a subject that requires a lot of money, and in your current state, I'm afraid no one will want to invest in you."
Therefore, it is better for you to change your major, such as electronic engineering, which will have more employment opportunities. ”
After listening to this, Zhang Rujing also realized his problem, so he began to change his major, and in the process of changing his major, he found that he was more interested in the major of electronic engineering.
In order to be able to better study this major, he also went to the field of computer science to study.
However, just when Zhang Rujing was preparing to show his strength and show his ambitions, the US government issued a "threshold for the secrecy of space technology."
The introduction of this bill made Zhang Rujing stunned, he thought it was just an unpopular bill, but he didn't expect that this bill would keep many people out of the law.
Zhang Rujing's mentor is one of them, and the introduction of this bill has made Zhang's mentor blocked from scientific research in the United States.
Zhang Rujing's mentor had no choice but to leave the United States, and Zhang Rujing met a Taiwanese scholar from MIT in this year.
Regarding the introduction of this bill, this Taiwan scholar believes that this is a US policy of suppression against Taiwan.
So this Taiwanese scholar planted a seed in Zhang Rujing's thoughts, and he hoped that his motherland would become strong, and scientific research and technology were a kind of strength.
Therefore, the Taiwanese scholar began to call on Taiwanese scholars in the United States to contribute to Taiwan's scientific research.
However, Zhang Rujing believes that he is already a US citizen, and the ban on this bill is aimed at US citizens, so he does not think that this is a policy against Taiwan.
At this time, Zhang Rujing's father was also deeply affected by this policy, so he returned to Taiwan, and Zhang Rujing also returned to Taiwan according to his father's wishes.
However, Chang did not bring electronic knowledge from the United States to Taiwan, which he did not believe would be of any benefit to Taiwan.
2. From Taiwan to the mainland.
Chang's intern at the Institute of Electronics in Taiwan recognized his talent at a glance, so he was placed as an intern at an integrated circuit company.
However, Zhang Rujing believed that Taiwan's integrated circuit companies could not provide him with a learning platform, so he came to the United States and joined Texas Instruments, the world's largest integrated circuit company at that time.
Zhang Rujing stayed in this company for a year, and he mastered all the skills he had learned, and he successfully applied his technology to the company's products.
As soon as his products hit the market, they were a huge hit, and Texas Instruments made a fortune as a result.
As a result, Zhang Rujing became the company's technical director, and his products were sold in the market until 1982.
However, in this year, Zhang Rujing left Texas Instruments and went to TSMC in Taiwan.
TSMC was founded by Zhang Rujing's father, and the purpose of Zhang Rujing's return to Taiwan this time was to apply the technology he mastered in the United States to TSMC's products.
However, Zhang Rujing did not stop there, he hoped to make TSMC's products more perfect.
So he returned to the United States again, but this time he brought back not only his own skills, but also his partner, who was his wife.
However, after Zhang Rujing rejoined TSMC, he found that his partner was not by his side, but was arranged to another laboratory for research.
Zhang Rujing thought that his partner could change the development direction of TSMC with him, but he did not expect that during the period when he left the United States, his partner was "abducted" by the laboratory director of TSMC.
And this laboratory director is an old rival of Zhang Rujing, so he began to suppress Zhang Rujing, not only restricting his development financially, but even setting up countless obstacles for him behind his back.
However, Zhang Rujing did not give up his ideals, he hoped that his products would sell well in the market, so he began to sell his products door-to-door in the market.
Not only did he travel to the U.S. market, but he also went door-to-door in the Japanese market, and his wife went with him.
However, Zhang Rujing's products did not sell well in foreign markets, so Zhang Rujing set his sights on the domestic market.
However, in the domestic market, his products were suppressed by the laboratory director of TSMC, so Zhang Rujing's products were also greatly excluded.
3. The father of chips.
However, it was this setback that made Zhang Rujing determined to start over.
He founded SMIC in 1995 with the hope that the company would become a leader in China's chip industry.
However, it is precisely because of this entrepreneurial move that the conflict between him and TSMC has intensified, and the top management of TSMC is a good friend of Zhang Rujing's father.
Therefore, while Zhang Rujing founded a new company, his father was also suppressed by TSMC, and Zhang Rujing's younger brother worked in TSMC.
With the development of SMIC, Zhang Rujing has also become the actual controller of this company, and SMIC has also developed step by step under the leadership of Zhang Rujing.
And Zhang Rujing is also known as the "father of chips" because of his struggle in the chip industry.
In 2010, Zhang Rujing was also invited to join the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
In 2019, Zhang Rujing also became an adjunct professor at Peking University, and his research direction is also in the field of chips.
Zhang Rujing's new company also plays a very important role in the development of China's chip industry, and he has also become a dark horse in China's chip industry.
After SMIC was included in the list of chip sanctions by the United States, the company also came step by step under the leadership of Zhang Rujing, and with its own strength, it has been supported by many domestic enterprises, and has also contributed to the development of China's chip industry.
And just after Zhang Rujing became a celebrity in China's chip industry, Taiwan announced in the middle of the night that it had cancelled Zhang Rujing's household registration and collected his property.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted everyone's attention, and many people speculated: "What did Zhang Rujing do that caused the reaction of the Taiwan government?"
However, just when everyone was speculating, Zhang Rujing himself posted a message on social platforms.
In this message, he said: "I am Chinese, I have money in China, there is no need to open a company in Taiwan. ”
And his remarks immediately aroused heated discussions among everyone, what was he talking about?
This news seems to be in response to everyone's speculation about him, and the Taiwan government's move is also a kind of petty revenge on Zhang Rujing.
epilogue
As an important figure in China's chip industry, Zhang Rujing's struggle in the chip industry is also an uneven road, but also a legend.
On his entrepreneurial journey, he has also received the support of many people, and his application of his technology to the chip manufacturing industry is also a kind of play to his profession.
He also played a positive role in combining his ideals and ambitions with the mission of the country.
The country's scientific and technological strength is inseparable from scientific and technological workers like Zhang Rujing, and at the same time, it is also inseparable from the country's development of the scientific and technological industry.
In the development of SMIC, a chip giant, he is also inseparable from the support of the state, and at the same time, it is also inseparable from the efforts of their team.
Extended perspective
The wrestling between Taiwan and the mainland in the field of science and technology industry reflects the impact of cross-strait political relations on the development of science and technology industry.
Therefore, this wrestling has also exerted a tremendous impact on the political relations between the two sides of the strait.
As an important figure in China's chip industry, Zhang Rujing's experience is also a very legendary story.
The fact that he combines his ambitions with the development of his country is also a recognition of him, but it is also a contribution to the country.
SMIC will play an increasingly important role in the development of China's chip industry and is also the representative of China's chip industry.
SMIC will continue to innovate in the future and play an active role in the development of China's chip industry.
