The Japan government will restrict the export of equipment in 23 kinds of chips to China, and before that, Japan also imposed extremely severe export restrictions on Korea by amending the export control law, and the export controls against China quickly attracted widespread attention at home and abroad.
How big of an impact will this have on China?
In terms of rare earth magnets, are the countermeasures against Japan sufficient?
What is the impact of Japan's move on China?
This new export control imposes export restrictions on 23 types of chip equipment to China.
These 23 chip devices are used to manufacture semiconductor products, including a range of chemicals.
United States Although it was not United States directly suppressed Japan, the US side must have thought of this countermeasure to impose export controls on Japan under Japan pressure.
The reason why the United States has done this is because the mainland's development in the field of high and new technology is very fast, which has put the United States in a disadvantaged situation, and in particular, the mainland has quickly caught up with the development of semiconductor technology, engaged in fierce competition with the United States, and even surpassed the United States.
What is Japan's goal in this move?
The mainland's research and development speed in the field of semiconductor products has far exceeded that of United States and Japan, and has occupied half of the world's semiconductor market, which makes the United States very anxious and constantly carries out a series of restrictions, in order to hinder the mainland's development speed in this regard, so that the mainland can not continue to occupy half of the world's semiconductor market.
However, the US side did not expect that in the process of this restriction, although it United States wanted to suppress the mainland's development speed, it did not have any effect, but instead made the mainland's R&D technology in semiconductor products have been greatly improved, which is counterproductive.
The United States has found Japan, hoping to obstruct the development speed of the mainland's chip industry through Japan's restrictions on the export of 23 kinds of chip equipment.
Because the demand for 23 kinds of chip equipment in the mainland is very large, which is provided to the mainland in the United States's opinion, but the mainland also has its own production and operation capabilities, and can also achieve independent production of products, and the production efficiency of the mainland in semiconductors is also very high, which makes the United States very anxious, and it is already chasing after it, and this export control makes the United States even more crazy.
However, at present, the mainland still has some advantages in the R&D and production of semiconductor products, that is, the speed of production in the semiconductor industry is very fast, so when other countries impose export controls on my semiconductor products, it has not had much impact on my semiconductor industry.
Mainland's countermeasures on rare earth magnets.
Japan's export control to the mainland, the mainland's corresponding targeted countermeasures against Japan, this is to restrict the export of Japan's rare earth magnets, Japan's exports to the mainland account for a very large proportion, so the mainland's restriction on rare earth magnets has pressed a mountain in Japan.
Japan's export control of the mainland is obviously an unequal approach, so what the mainland has done to Japan is not, this can only be said to be a superior skill, since Japan has made restrictions, it is necessary for the mainland to make targeted countermeasures against Japan.
Rare earth magnets are mainly used in the manufacture of new energy vehicle motors, wind turbines, rail transit and other large-scale equipment products.
Japan has also recently imposed a series of restrictions on China.
Japan has imposed export controls on a variety of products, including electrodes and other image detectors, hydrofluoric acid, chip manufacturing equipment, etc., on the grounds of trade security, with a total of 107 products, of which 23 products are export restrictions to China.
United States reason why Japan are allowed to impose such export controls on China is that they are worried that the mainland's semiconductor products will break their monopoly position, and at the same time, they are also worried that the mainland's semiconductor products will pose a threat to their national defense and security.
Japan's position in the mainland rare earth magnets is equivalent to the position of United States in the mainland's semiconductor products, which has a certain monopoly, United States because it is afraid that the mainland will break its monopoly in semiconductor products, so it will carry out a series of export control restrictions on the mainland.
Rare earth magnets.
Rare earth magnet is a very important non-ferrous magnetic material, which is mainly used in the manufacture of motors, electronic applications and other magnetic materials.
According to different chemical compositions, rare earth magnets can also be divided into two categories: ferro-permanent magnets and non-ferrous permanent magnets, which are mainly composed of domestic hard magnetic materials and products.
Rare earth magnet is characterized by its magnetization ability and its coercive magnetic field, both of which have excellent performance, so that rare earth magnets can be widely used in motors, electronics, machinery and other fields, which is rare earth magnets in various fields of products, it has its figure.
The rare earth elements of rare earth magnets are mainly extracted through a series of processes such as leaching, extraction and refining of ores.
In the process of refining rare earth magnets, not only need to carry out many refining operations, but also need to invest a lot of man-hours and manpower, so this causes the extraction cost of rare earth magnets to be very high, which also lays the foundation for the price of rare earth magnets.
The biggest feature of the formula of rare earth magnet production is that the proportion of rare earth ore is different, so the material of the rare earth magnet products produced will be different, and this also leads to the different formulas of rare earth magnets, which can also produce different rare earth magnet products.
Application fields of rare earth magnets.
The application field of rare earth magnets is very wide, mainly used in the manufacture of motors, electrochemistry, electrical appliances, rail transit and other fields, the proportion of rare earth magnets is quite high, and with the development of new energy vehicles, the demand for rare earth magnets will also increase.
Electrical equipment is the most consumed in rare earth magnet products, and the main consumption mainly includes permanent magnet motors and electrical appliances, which are widely used in their respective products as permanent magnet materials.
In the production process of rare earth magnets, rare metals are mainly extracted by ion exchange extraction, solvent extraction, electrolysis and other methods, and the finished products produced by rare earth magnets account for 30% to 40% of rare earth metals.
However, in terms of rare earth metals, China's monopoly is very strong, which also makes the mainland have a certain advantage in rare earth magnets, which also have a certain rarity, and rare earth magnets will also account for a certain proportion of rare earth metals.
But the advantage is not forever, the mainland has also been in the research and development of rare earth magnets, continuous efforts, so the mainland can still compete with Japan in rare earth magnets.
epilogue
Japan's export control of the mainland again, the reason why the United States wants to focus on Japan is because it is afraid that the mainland will make a breakthrough in the technical service of semiconductor products, and the United States obviously wants to block the development speed of the mainland in semiconductor products, but it brings the mainland the power to improve technology, which is counterproductive.
At the same time, the mainland has a certain advantage in semiconductor products, so this export control did not have much impact on the mainland's chip industry, but the mainland also imposed restrictions on rare earth magnets on Japan, which made Japan immediately feel the pressure.
