As we all know, Hon Hai Technology is a world-renowned chip foundry company. Like TSMC, it is also a well-known Taiwanese company.
Precisely because of this identity, Hon Hai Technology’s investment in mainland China did not go smoothly. According to market rules, if Taiwanese companies want to increase investment in the mainland market, they must obtain a "permit." Obviously, like the United States, on the surface, companies can achieve free supply with Chinese companies by applying for licenses, but in fact, obtaining a "license" is more difficult than ever.
Therefore, after several unsuccessful communications, Hon Hai Technology chose the "kill first and then pay later" approach and indirectly invested in the mainland chip giant- Unisplendour Group . Hon Hai Technology's investment in the mainland market received a "red card". According to media reports, Hon Hai Technology has received a huge fine, with a fine of up to 5.66 million yuan.
So the question is, why is the cooperation between Taiwanese companies and mainland companies so difficult? Personally, I think there are two main reasons. First, it is due to pressure from the United States. Second, self-interest. There is no doubt that both TSMC and Hon Hai Technology are giants in the field of chips and , and the chip industry is also the island's "ace".
is actually not targeted at the mainland market. Even if TSMC goes to the United States to build a factory, it will cause dissatisfaction among many netizens. The main reason is that they are worried about the outflow of their own technology and the loss of important sources of economic income.
Objectively speaking, it is understandable to have concerns in this regard, but such an approach is a bit complacent. In the context of global economic integration and , no company can be "beautiful" alone. As the world's second largest economy, refusing free trade with the mainland market is equivalent to shooting itself in the foot and will not benefit either party.
In particular, after Chinese companies were "stuck" by old and American chips, we have devoted almost all our efforts to develop the chip industry. We are very determined to overcome the chip problem. In addition, the mainland market has invested a lot of money, resources and manpower. It is only a matter of time before we can achieve the goal of self-sufficiency in chips.
When domestic companies needed help and support the most, Taiwanese companies chose to refuse. In the long run, this is also the beginning of the decline of Taiwanese chip companies. As long as domestic technology companies achieve breakthroughs in the chip field, master the manufacturing capabilities of mature process chips, and can impact the high-end chip field, then even if Taiwanese companies take the initiative to seek cooperation, perhaps we will not agree.
In fact, in addition to Taiwanese companies, many European companies are also under pressure from the United States. Take the ASML company as an example. This Dutch company also had a very tough attitude initially and refused to cooperate with Chinese companies. However, after ASML realized that cutting off the supply of to Chinese companies would disrupt the entire semiconductor company and lead to a serious decline in revenue, its attitude changed 180°.
ASML company executives stated that ASML is a European company with limited reliance on American technology. Obviously, the implication is that ASML is not controlled by the United States and is completely free to choose its partners. With lessons learned from the past, Taiwanese companies such as TSMC and Hon Hai Technology should also wake up. "De-beautification" is not only the goal of mainland companies, but other technology companies should also be aware of the crisis and stop being obsessed with it! Cooperation is the only way to achieve win-win results. What do you think about this? Welcome to leave comments and messages!
