Statement from China Semiconductor Industry Association!, Just now Semiconductor | USA | China Semiconductor Industry Association
Recently, our association has noticed widespread media coverage that some leaders of American chip companies are attempting to lobby the US government to reduce trade restrictions and promote global cooperation. The Semiconductor Industry Association of America has also issued a statement regarding potential additional restrictions on the semiconductor industry by the US government. This reflects the concerns of the US semiconductor industry about the actions of the US government.
For decades, the semiconductor industry has been able to sustain innovation and flourish, thanks to the mutual cooperation of major industry entities in various countries and regions around the world. This is the result of the development of global division of labor, and the semiconductor industry has thus become the most representative of globalization. As the largest semiconductor market in the world, Chinese Mainland has provided more than 80% of the global partners with a huge market, which has strongly supported the supply of global electronic information products and made important contributions to the well-being of all mankind. The China Semiconductor Industry Association firmly believes that once the globalization of the semiconductor industry, which has developed for decades, is disrupted, it will inevitably have a serious negative impact on the global economy. It will not only lead to the fragmentation of the semiconductor global supply chain, but also disrupt the unity of the global market, thereby cutting off the prosperity of the global economy. Over the past twenty years, the US semiconductor industry has actively promoted and led the global division of labor in the semiconductor industry, making important contributions to the globalization of the semiconductor industry. Unfortunately, in recent years, the US government has taken a series of restrictive measures to disrupt the globalization of the semiconductor industry, destabilize the global supply chain of semiconductors, and inevitably harm the interests of global consumers. It will also weaken the competitiveness of the US semiconductor industry, which naturally raises widespread concerns among people worldwide, including the US semiconductor industry.
The Chinese semiconductor industry is rooted in globalization, growing and strengthening beyond globalization. We will always adhere to open cooperation, work together with all willing industry colleagues from countries and regions around the world to maintain the globalization of the semiconductor industry, and promote government/authorities to support international cooperation in the semiconductor industry. At the same time, China's semiconductor industry will continue to innovate, continuously enhance its competitiveness, and develop together with global partners.
