Interview with South Korea ’s Member: What impact will Han’ s joining the “chip Quartet Alliance” affect Chinese -South Korean relations?

In an exclusive interview with Phoenix Satellite TV, Liang Xiangzi, a member of the South Korean Parliament and semiconductor expert, said that this year is the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea. The two countries have maintained close cooperation in the semiconductor field. Manage and control the risk of "chip Quartet Alliance".

Member of South Korea: China and South Korea jointly control the "chip Quartet Alliance" that may cause risks

South Korean Congress Liang Xiangzi has served as a senior manager of the Samsung Semiconductor Department of South Korea. It can be said to be the only semiconductor expert among South Korean parliament members. In an exclusive interview with Phoenix Satellite TV, she said that China and South Korea kept a close relationship in the semiconductor field. China's digital economy ranked first in the world, accounting for 40%of the total domestic product. Related industries will be hit. From the perspective of South Korea's position, China is the largest export market for South Korean semiconductors. China and South Korea are geographically neighbors. They should maintain close communication and cooperation and jointly manage the risks that the "chip Quartet Alliance" may cause.

What impact will South Korea have a "chip Quartet Alliance" on Sino -South Korean relations?

Liang Xiangzi, a member of the Korean Congress and the semiconductor expert:

From the perspective of China's position, it will be considered why the four countries form an alliance? Is it necessary to give people a impression of sanctioning China? Is it to stimulate China? I can fully understand the relevant position. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between South Korea and China. I think that the cooperative relationships for 30 years in South Korea and China should be more firm in the next 30 years.

South Korea's Member: China and South Korea should continue to push economic cooperation to achieve a win -win situation

Liang Xiangzi also pointed out that South Korean major semiconductor companies Samsung and SK both invest in large -scale investment in China and have semiconductor factories. China has important semiconductor raw materials such as rare earth. In order to prevent economic cooperation between the two countries from retreating due to external factors, the two countries should actively promote the second stage of the free trade agreement at multiple levels and continue to promote economic cooperation to achieve a win -win situation.

Phoenix Reporter:

Do you think China and South Korea can cooperate in the semiconductor field?

Liang Xiangzi, a member of the Korean Congress and the semiconductor expert:

China has also made efforts to introduce the factory of the Korean semiconductor company. The fundamental reason for the introduction of Korean semiconductor companies in China is based on mutual demand. This is a win -win policy between the two countries. The two countries need to continue to develop a win -win policy.

The recent chip bill passed by the Biden government in the United States, which includes that if the company accepts subsidies for the US government, it must restrict investment in China. Liang Xiangzi pointed out that technical capabilities can be said to be diplomatic capabilities. When Korean companies have conducted semiconductor investment in China, the South Korean government needs to make diplomatic efforts to the United States. At the same time, the "Chip Quartet Alliance" should become a constructive agency that stabilizes semiconductors.

Liang Xiangzi, a member of the Korean Congress and the semiconductor expert:

The US position may be that it cannot be said that it should not invest in China (Mainland) in South Korea and Taiwan. The Korean side should actively persuade the United States through the alliance and promote the negotiation process.
