Overseas online review: The United States treats "core diseases" but prescribed the wrong prescription

On August 9, local time, US President Biden officially signed the "Chip and Science Act". The bill includes supporting policies such as 52.7 billion US dollars in the chip industry, as well as his policies for the Chinese chip industry. According to the bill, the funds subsidized by the US government cannot invest in the semiconductor industry in China, which forces chip companies to "choose a team" between China and the United States. This violation of the laws of the market will only disturb the global supply chain, and the United States has obviously prescribed the wrong prescription.

The signing of the "Chip Act" is the latest move in the United States to suppress China and implement economic coercion in the high -tech field. The bill was born from the "2021 American Innovation and Competition Act" -The bill was regarded as the "integrated person" that recently curbed a series of bills in China, and the content covered almost all China -related affairs. Although the "chip bill" has shrunk significantly compared to the old bill and the content is more focused on high -tech fields such as semiconductors, it emphasizes that the conjunction of China and the United States and the suppression of China's background has not changed. In the American politics that has become more and more serious in political opposition, democracy and Republican parties can reach a rare consensus. Republicans are even willing to give up a consistent position and "release" a bill with a significant "industrial policy". It can be said to be a key factor.

The time point for the bill to take effect is also intriguing. In the few weeks of this bill for review and voting, the United States is also selling the so -called "chip Quartet Alliance" and announced that it will hold a recent consultation meeting of the alliance. In addition, the Bayeng government further strengthened the suppression measures against China's high -tech field during the Trump administration. It is not difficult to see that the United States is constantly abusing its technical hegemonic position and "long -arm jurisdiction". The decourse of the "precision technology of the wall, which will never allow the United States to expose other countries beyond its own hegemonic mentality.

The naked hegemonic behavior in the United States not only has a serious negative impact on economic globalization, but may even cause the world economy to divide into different groups and cause huge damage to the world economy. "Nikkei News" commented that the bill was actually "forcing semiconductors to choose between China and the United States." Intel had previously lobned, hoping that the United States would not limit the investment of chip companies to China, saying that this would "inadvertently weaken the global competitiveness of companies that accept the funds of the bill." The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) quoted scholars 'perspectives that the United States' approach will cause the consequences of "dividing the world into two". This will obviously have huge efficiency reduction. "

The consequences of disrupting the global supply chain will actually fight against the United States. This "chip bill", which is boasted by the US media as "one of the most significant and far -reaching bills in the United States", to how much it can alleviate or even solve the "core disease" in the United States, I am afraid that it will be a big big one. question mark. On the one hand, for the semiconductor industry that invests in tens of billions of dollars or even 100 billion U.S. dollars, the US government's 52.7 billion US dollars can be said to be a salary. On the other hand, the United States is also facing the shortage of scientific and technological talents and the problem of lagging behind Asian counterparts in the production of advanced chips. For chip companies, let them abandon the technicians who are purely familiar in order to subsidize them, give up the gathering advantage of East Asia, and pay the high fixed costs of returning to the United States to build a factory. Essence

After years of development, in the complex and highly dependent global value chain, semiconductor companies in the United States and China have long been deeply integrated. To make the supply chain fully localized, it will pay huge economic and technical costs. How the United States develops is its own business, but it should not set up obstacles to the normal scientific and humanistic exchanges and cooperation between China and the United States, and it should not deprive and damage the legitimate development rights of China. Sino -US scientific and technological cooperation is conducive to the common interests of both parties and the common progress of human beings. It will only harm others and harm themselves.
