Currently, the global chip shortage is severe. The US Department of Commerce previously stated that in order to alleviate the global chip and supply chain shortage, major chip semiconductor manufacturers need to hand over internal confidential data within 45 days! Today is the deadline on November 8th, and TSMC finally compromised and responded that it had handed over the confidential data to the United States, and Taiwanese media collectively lost their voices.
Since the second half of last year, the global epidemic has been controlled to a certain extent, and all industries have begun to resume work gradually, and chips have eased slightly, but since this year, the global epidemic has begun to become more serious. Many chip and supply chain manufacturers have infected new crown , resulting in serious insufficient production of chips and other components. Once the chip is seriously out of stock, it will lead to digital electronic products, such as mobile phones, laptops, tablets, and the automotive industry. A car needs 400-500 chips inside. Now, the price increase of cars is very common, and some car companies are unable to produce due to chip shortage and are suspended for holidays.
Some time ago, the US Department of Commerce publicly stated that the global chip shortage has reached a very critical situation, and major semiconductor chip manufacturers around the world need to hand over confidential data within 45 days. This is definitely a ransomware company. Not only are TSMC from Taiwan Province of my country, but also chip manufacturers such as Samsung , Intel , Technology companies such as Apple , Microsoft , and automobile manufacturers such as BMW, Daimler, GM, and Ford.
Many friends are asking, many of these companies are not American companies, so why can they still be asked to hand over the confidential data of the company? The reason is that many companies have close relationships with the United States, and some of the technologies used are also from the United States, so they have to make compromises.
had news before that TSMC was unwilling to hand over confidential data, but for the deadline on November 8 today, TSMC shouted in his mouth that it was not good, but his body was very honest and had compromised and handed over the confidential data to the United States. However, TSMC responded that it retained customer information data to ensure that customer information is safe. As of November 7, 23 major international manufacturers and institutions have responded to the request of the US Department of Commerce, and some documents are even displayed as "confidential".
It seems that the United States unreasonably requires companies to hand over confidential data, but you need to know that most of these companies use American technology. Take the founder of TSMC for example. Zhang Zhongmou worked at Texas Instruments in the United States earlier. Later, he returned to Taiwan Province to establish TSMC and used some American technology. The company's current production line uses a large amount of American equipment. As for whether TSMC can establish a production line without American technology and equipment, TSMC responded that it will not change in the short term. Now the United States requires TSMC to hand over confidential data, and TSMC has to implement it.
So if you fall behind, you will be beaten. TSMC has surrendered. Chinese chip companies such as SMIC and Huawei are also under sanctions. We also hope that Chinese companies will break the Western and American technology monopoly as soon as possible and chips with independent property rights will be released.
