People have always been paying close attention to chip issues. This is mainly because my country's chip technology has been suppressed by the United States before, so there are certain shortcomings in this aspect during the country's development process. Chips are a key industry in every country. If you want to have enough say in the world market, you must have outstanding achievements in this area.
The importance of chip technology is self-evident. Nowadays, the mobile phones and many electronic products we use need to use chips. With the rapid development of the Internet, the importance of chips in people's lives is very great. , in the chip manufacturing process, it needs to be built by photolithography machine . However, our country is relatively short of technology in this area. In addition, the United States has relatively strict restrictions on this aspect, which makes our country It cannot have a say in the chip industry, but there is a company that has provided 78 photolithography machines for our country. Do you know the reason behind this?
Many people may not have heard of this company that produces photolithography machines. This is the ASML company headquartered in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Many of the integrated circuit equipment produced by this company are well-known internationally. It is very famous. At first, this company stood on the same front with the United States under the order of the U.S. restriction order. However, some time ago, this company provided more than 78 lithography machines to our country.
We all know that photolithography machines play a key role in chip manufacturing, so you can imagine the importance of this equipment. It is understood that the price of a photolithography machine is hundreds of millions of yuan, and at most At first, this company did not want to provide photolithography machines to my country because of the obstruction from many aspects of the United States. However, later this company ignored the restrictions of the United States and resolutely provided photolithography machines to China. After all, the Chinese market is very large. Being able to capture the fat piece of China can be said to have found a good direction for the development of the company.
Because China has been developing very fast in recent years, the United States has used various methods to suppress our country's technology. Because the United States ordered other countries to ban the export of photolithography machines to our country, our country's chip manufacturing industry has been affected to a certain extent. It is a setback, but fortunately, many companies in our country are making breakthroughs. At the same time, ASML's attitude has also undergone earth-shaking changes. The reason for this is that the Chinese market is indeed their ideal market.
It is understood that this company has publicly expressed its goodwill to China many times, and has also provided more help to Chinese companies in terms of technology. After all, the U.S. market has long been saturated, and the United States has very strong technical capabilities in this area. If Blindly following the pace of the United States and giving up the big fat meat of China is obviously not of much value, and will also cause one to lose my country's market. In addition, during the epidemic, my country's epidemic prevention and control was relatively appropriate. The economic development momentum is also relatively good, so under such circumstances, the company has changed its attitude and continues to export lithography machines to China.
Although our country’s technology in this area is indeed inferior to these economically developed countries, after all, they have already invested in the chip technology industry in the past. Therefore, after the United States suppressed our country, it has indeed plunged our country into a state of decline in a short period of time. We are in a difficult situation, but now that this company has taken the initiative to show goodwill to our country, it shows that it is very optimistic about our country's market. The suppression of our country's chip technology by the United States will not only affect the development of our country's enterprises, but also affect many related industries in the world. Development of national industry.
The biggest difference between our country and the United States is that when faced with catching up with others, our country improves its technical capabilities by constantly improving itself, while the United States stabilizes itself by suppressing people from other countries. own status, but in fact, this method is the most undesirable. After all, there are so many worlds. Without one China, there are still thousands of Chinas. Therefore, instead of putting all your thoughts on dealing with our country, we should It is better to work hard to improve your skills.
This is exactly what our country is doing now. As the country with the largest chip consumer market in the world, our country's economy continues to be sluggish, but our country's market is very broad, and it has also broken the barriers of the United States. With the ability to independently develop chips and the ability to develop chips belonging to one's own country, do you think the US's suppression is still meaningful? What do you think of this company's behavior?
