What is the essence of the systematic blocking of the development of China's semiconductors?Trump knows only big-handed, but does not know that he wasted the foundation left by the 250 years of the U.S. foundation, once it is exhausted, the consequences are impensable.
In the previous period, the Dutch government invaded the assets of the Dutch subsidiary of China's Zhou Tai Technologies, Anse Semiconductor assets, can be said to be boiling, when the Dutch government that was roasted on the fire vaguely denied this was the U.S. instruction, and the result was not two days, the Dutch government was hit by its own face.
According to the ruling documents released by the Dutch court against Nexperia, the fundamental reason why the Dutch government took measures against Nexperia was that the U.S. government further expanded the list of entities targeting Chinese companies last month.
The so-called “entity list” is a “trade weapon” used by the United States in recent years against China. All China companies included in the entity list will be restricted from obtaining U.S. goods, technology, software, patent authorizations, etc. All U.S. companies that cooperate with China companies on the entity list need to obtain approval from the U.S. government in advance. Relevant cooperation projects will also be strictly reviewed and graded by the U.S. government. They are divided into three categories according to risk level, namely strict veto in the military field, case evaluation in the civil field, and relaxation of licenses in areas related to people's livelihood. However, except for a very small number of companies, almost all China companies included in the entity list will be subject to the strictest restrictions. Not only will they have no way to obtain patent authorizations in relevant fields from American companies, even U.S. allies will assess the risks of cooperation with China companies on the entity list.
So, the U.S. entity list is essentially a tool used by the U.S. government to restrict Chinese semiconductors and other technological development.In the past few years, the U.S. has subsequently included hundreds of Chinese companies in the entity list, which will almost include all the enterprises at the forefront of China's technological development, and just last month, the U.S. government continued to add sanctions measures, which will also include subsidiaries with more than 50% of the corporate holdings already included in the entity list.
It is no coincidence that Zhou Tai Technologies is on the U.S. entity list, while Zhou Tai Technologies holds a Dutch subsidiary, Anselm Semiconductor, is also within the scope of the entity list expansion. According to U.S. media disclosures, U.S. Department of Commerce officials pressured the Dutch government in June this year to force the Dutch government to force Anselm Semiconductor to withdraw its Chinese CEO to ensure that Anselm Semiconductor will not be included in the U.S. entity list.
Eventually, Driven by pressure from the United States, the Dutch government partially took over the Anchor Semiconductor from the hands of Zhongtai Technology, the Dutch court passed the emergency application to suspend the Chinese CEO, since then, the Anchor Semiconductor has basically fallen into the hands of the Dutch government.Therefore, the United States is indeed behind the "robbery case" against Chinese enterprises in the Netherlands.
The purpose of the United States is actually very simple, that is, to cut off any cooperation channels between China and the Western semiconductor industry chain, completely exclude China from the global semiconductor industry chain led by the United States, hinder the development of China's semiconductor industry, and restrict China's artificial intelligence technology. progress.
As an accomplice, the Dutch government was not willing to be the "fast knife" of the United States against China at the beginning. However, the economy of the Netherlands and the United States was too deeply tied, and Dutch companies used a large number of American patents. If the Netherlands did not listen to the United States, the Netherlands would face retaliation from the United States, which was something the Netherlands could not afford. In the end, the Netherlands succumbed to the power of the Trump administration, forcibly controlled Anshi Semiconductor, and infringed on the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.
In response, China's Ministry of Commerce immediately took countermeasures, prohibiting Nexperia China and its subcontractors from exporting specific finished components and subassemblies produced in China, completely cutting off the Dutch government's desire to infringe on China's interests. To please the United States, we must continue to maintain the idea of cooperating with China.
Although the China companies involved are unknown, the impact of the whole incident is all-round.
Strictly speaking, this action by the Dutch government is the first time that the U.S. entity list and long-arm jurisdiction have played a substantial role in U.S. allies. Under the pretext of "obtaining permission from the U.S. Department of Commerce", the Dutch government ignored the objective fact that Wingtech Technology holds shares in Nexperia, forcibly controls Dutch companies controlled by Chinese companies, forces Chinese companies to make concessions, and robs Nexperia.
And the EU's silence behind the Netherlands in this matter also appears to be "shake-early", the Dutch government's practice of forcibly seizing control of enterprises in any country and region is an act of undermining the business environment, the EU has no reaction to this, which itself says a lot of problems, at least the Dutch initiative to risk, to kick China out of its own semiconductor industry attempt, the EU is to maintain the implicit attitude, which is actually the signals of the Netherlands and even the EU in transmitting proactive cooperation to the United States.
But then again, can the EU bear the consequences of cooperating with US tactics to deal with China? China has never intended to become an enemy of the EU from beginning to end, but the EU has always pressed against it. In essence, The EU's participation in U.S. sanctions against China is using its own interests to help the United States restrict China's development, and China's counter-measures will inevitably cause a huge blow to the European economy.
If the EU really insists on going its own way, then Europe will become a victim of the United States in the game between China and the United States, and will become the suckers of human society's ridicule in the future. The United States is actually not much better.
The Trump administration is again and again pressuring its allies to impose sanctions on China, some countries are willing to fight for the United States because of the geological situation and national interests, but some countries are not necessarily, Australia, New Zealand, these traditional American allies do not want to be the victims of the global anti-China strategy of the United States, each time they cooperate with the United States' actions, are actually consuming their patience and trust in the United States.
In the final analysis, the current U.S. government relies on the "contacts" accumulated by the United States in the past 250 years to maintain the final global hegemony, while Trump is wantonly squandering the few remaining political and diplomatic resources of the United States.
