For decades global semiconductors and their technology were controlled by the USA, and the USA allowed its allies to design and manufacture semiconductor and their infrastructure.
But the aggression and dominance of China in semiconductor technology had started to choke the nerves of the USA because the USA is a superpower and the indirect big boss to the world countries. Most of the revenue the USA generates through design by manufacturing and selling its technology worldwide.
At the time of covid-19 pandemic, we see a sudden rise in the usage of smart phones, tablets and laptops because the world has shifted its offices to work remotely from home, and we also see the increase usage of gaming councils.
So, the world has seen a shortage of semiconductors, it is a critical element used in almost every electronic equipment. Using semiconductors the organisations will produce many capital goods and semi-finished goods, so producing any good without using semiconductors is not straightforward. The global automobile market has halted its production days and even some companies reduced production capacity to meet the availability of a semiconductors.
Almost everyone sees how every country is deeply integrated with semiconductors, but their design and production are limited to very few companies and countries. Every country has developed a road map to develop, design and manufacture in their own country.
China controls world trade with 70% to 80% by selling goods and services to almost everyone.
Can the USA stop the growth of China in semiconductor
We see the growth story of China, which became an economical and technological superpower which manufactures everything and anything in this world with the best low-cost, better-quality standard within a time frame.
The considerable achievements by China in semiconductor technology so far
The single company, Huawei from China, had made a shiver before it was banned; it once overtook Apple in terms of sales. Its 5G technology is better cost-effective and the best-advanced technology cheaper by 20% than its counterparts.
BeiDou navigation system from China is the latest best, and most accurate navigation system because it has many ground satellite stations with the latest technology worldwide. BeiDou is the only one to have a two-way communication system. The USA GPS lacks that feature because its ground infrastructure is outdated technology. The iPhone uses third-party satellite service to introduce emergency service.
Birentech’s latest chip, BR100, beats Nvidia A100 3x times and can perform AI tasks better than the world’s most advanced, powerful chip Nivida H100.
The restrictions imposed by the USA and its allies on the growth of semiconductor technology in China
USA had banned all its semiconductor design, software and manufacture from China from USA companies, and not only it further passed a law no company in the world should not sell semiconductor design, software and manufacturing using US technology to China.
USA had pressured ASML not to sell its advanced lithography machines to China
TSMC had stopped the production of BR100
Germany proposes to stop the ban on exports of critical chemicals to China used to manufacture semiconductors.
The USA and most of its friendly counties are restricted China companies from participating in 5G infrastructure.
China was cornered by everyone to stop from becoming superior superpower in semiconductor technology.
“The universal law says that the flow of water direction will always be from upwards to downwards. Where the investment flows and has good leadership, no one can stop its glory and prosperity from reaching the top”
China will become a superpower in semiconductors in future because it has good technology, investments and leadership. Still, it may take little time because of the cornering of everyone to get to access that technology.
