The background of the joint petition is that semiconductor shortages continue to disrupt global production, and U.S. automakers have expected profits to drop by billions of dollars this year. < / P > < p > the business group wrote in the letter: "in order to improve competitiveness and enhance the flexibility of key supply chains, we believe that the United States needs to stimulate the construction of new and modern semiconductor manufacturing facilities and provide funds for improving the level of research." < / P > < p > (source: SIA) < / P > < p > it is worth noting that the U.S. Congress approved the plan to provide subsidies for chip research and factory construction last year, but U.S. legislators still need to provide specific funds for the plan. At present, most of the world's top chip generation plants are in Asia, including TSMC in Taiwan, China, Samsung in South Korea. Both TSMC and Samsung plan to build new chip factories in the United States in the next few years, which may receive funding in the future. < / P > < p > < / P > < p > in addition to funding existing programs, these business groups also called for an "investment tax credit" to help buy semiconductor manufacturing tools. < / P > < p > < / P > < p > < b > Biden or issue an executive order According to foreign media reports, President Biden is expected to ask his government to evaluate and review the key supply chain in the United States, including the supply of "semiconductors, large capacity batteries and rare earth metals", in view of the global shortage of chips due to problems in the supply chain, and will immediately issue a report on the supply of "semiconductors, large capacity batteries and rare earth metals" Administrative order of sex. < / P > < p > before that, many semiconductor companies such as Intel and Qualcomm, the US chipmaker, urged President Biden to make major investment to revitalize domestic semiconductor production in the United States. < / P > < p > it is reported that in the face of the complex situation of the current semiconductor supply chain, the US government is about to launch a review and evaluation of the "us key supply chain" to investigate the constraints on the US manufacturing industry and the gaps in the supply chain. In addition, the review will certainly assess the extent to which the United States relies on exports from the countries concerned. < / P > < p > last week, Intel, Qualcomm and other US chip manufacturers urged President Biden to include in his infrastructure and economic recovery plan the content of "plan to invest a lot of money to stimulate semiconductor manufacturing" due to the serious shortage of chips in the world. Just hours after the appeal, it is said that Biden's government is "actively working" to solve the problem of chip shortage. < / P > < p > the review and evaluation of the US key supply chain, as well as the pending executive order, are likely to be the first step of the US government's efforts to solve its own supply chain problems. It will thoroughly review the sources of key raw materials to evaluate and support us enterprises and defense construction. < / P > < p > according to the draft executive order seen by the media, the review will be led by members of Biden administration's economic and national security team, which will analyze "the resilience and capability of the US manufacturing supply chain and defense industrial base in supporting national security and emergency preparedness". < / P > < p > < / P > < p > TSMC, Apple's partner, is currently the world's largest chip OEM manufacturer.

The International Semiconductor Industry Association calls on the United States to review its measures against China; Aoki] the International Semiconductor Industry Association (semi) sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Commerce on the 25th local time, calling for a review of a series of restrictions imposed by the trump administration on China last year, and urging the incoming U.S. Secretary of Commerce to cooperate with allies even if he wants to restrict technology exports, Reuters reported on the 26th. According to a copy of the letter obtained by Reuters, Ajit manocha, President of semi, said that the effect of the trump government's unilateral restrictions on China is diminishing over time, and it also causes unnecessary harm to the US semiconductor industry, reducing the potential benefits for us enterprises. < / P > < p > the letter criticizes that the trump government has hardly solicited public opinions on China's chip restriction measures, and lacks systematicness, which restricts many companies outside the United States from selling products to Huawei in China, and affects the interests of these semiconductor production and test equipment manufacturers. Agit manoucha urged the US Commerce Secretary designate to quickly correct the restrictions on Huawei that began in August last year, and asked Biden government to quickly reduce the backlog of license applications for export to China, saying that delaying license applications is actually equivalent to rejecting the export requirements of these enterprises. Ajit manocha believes that fair competition environment should be created to maximize the effect of policies and minimize the damage to national security and economic impact. < / P > < p > semi was founded in 1970, with more than 2000 member companies worldwide and a permanent office in China. According to its official website in China, semi, as a neutral industrial organization, has been exploring theWe are committed to promoting the development of global industry. Previously, semi has repeatedly issued a warning on the negative impact of the trump government's chip restrictions on China on the US semiconductor industry. As of 24:00 on the 26th, the U.S. Department of Commerce had not responded to the semi related letters. Xiang Ligang, a senior expert in the domestic communication industry, told the global times on the 26th that semi still represents the interests of the U.S. semiconductor industry in essence. The appeal of semi was made after seeing the long-term negative impact of the unilateral sanctions on the U.S. industry. Xiang Ligang analyzed and said, "the blockade of China's chip industry, on the one hand, has interrupted the industrial chain between China and the United States, causing damage to American enterprises; on the other hand, the more blockade, the more it stimulates the independence of China's chip industry and fundamentally reduces its dependence on the United States." He believes that the Biden government is currently reviewing the policies of the trump era, and the new government may make some adjustments to the policy of restricting Chinese chips. < / P > < p > < / P > < b > foreign media: International Semiconductor Association calls on the United States to cooperate with its allies if it further restricts exports to China < / b > < / P > < p > (observer network news) trump administration's export control policy is vague and arbitrary, which affects the interests of the United States? < / P > < p > on January 25, local time, the US based International Semiconductor Industry Association (semi) made a speech to Gina Raymond, the US Secretary of Commerce designate Raimondo) and other senior officials wrote letters calling on the Biden administration to review the trump administration's export control policy and carry out "multilateral control" on items including semiconductor manufacturing equipment and materials, otherwise it will backfire. < / P > < p > although the letter did not specifically point out the object of "multilateral control", it quoted the export control regulations (ear) amended by the United States in May last year. At that time, in order to cut off the supply chain of Huawei chips, the United States amended this regulation, but China's Ministry of Commerce later expressed its firm opposition to it. < p > < p > in this regard, < strong style = "box sizing: inherit; font style: normal;" > Reuters also reported on the 25th that the letter is calling for cooperation with allies when the US Department of Commerce restricts exports to China for "national security reasons.". < / strong > currently, the US Department of Commerce has not responded to this. < p > < p > letter from the semiconductor industry association to the US Secretary designate; "> Semiconductor Industry Association: trump government policies weaken US competitiveness In the letter, manocha said that promoting large-scale innovation is an industrial strategy needed by the United States. Therefore, the Association strongly supports the Biden administration's goal of revitalizing the manufacturing industry and investing in R & D in the United States, believing that it is conducive to ensuring the national security and economic competitiveness of the United States. To achieve this goal, we need to examine the current export control policy of the United States. According to the letter, export control is a "powerful strategic tool for national security". It is better to integrate with other tools to form a unified strategic national policy, and cooperate with other allies with equivalent competitiveness in the global market in many aspects to carefully solve specific national security problems. If it is only used as a unilateral tool, the global competitiveness of the United States in the controlled industries will be weakened, and ultimately affect the "national security" of the United States. For example, the letter says that global customers who are unable to purchase products restricted by the United States will turn to purchase substitutes of foreign origin. These substitutes are not subject to similar restrictions, or are only "completely self-designed technologies of American origin", which may erode the technical advantages of products of American origin. In response, the association proposes that multilateral control of restricted products by all major producers can create a level playing field, maximize efficiency, and minimize damage to us national security and economic competitiveness. In addition, as U.S. origin products are removed from the global supply chain, the U.S. government's understanding of the technological strength and roadmap of global producers is also reduced. In the letter, < p > < p > held that the trump government, through a "very unusual" procedure, revised the export administration regulations of the Ministry of Commerce, and implemented extensive and vague unilateral control on semiconductor related products. The outside world could not exert any influence on it, and the overall policy was not clearly stated. < / P > < p > one of them is the trump administration's "unprecedented expansion" in response to Article 3 of the general ban of the export administration regulations in May last year. At that time, the US Department of Commerce said that it was changing an export rule to "strategically lock in" Huawei's chip suppliers, as long as their direct products used certain US software or technologies. < p > < p > however, the Ministry of Commerce of China later expressed its firm opposition to this: "the United States uses national power, using the so-called national security as an excuse, abusing export control and other measures to continuously suppress and contain specific enterprises in other countries, which is a violation of market principles and fair competition, a disregard of the basic rules of international economy and trade, and a serious threat to the security of the global industrial chain supply chain. This damages the interests of Chinese enterprises, American enterprises and enterprises of other countries. " < p > < p > at the end of the letter, manocha appealed to the Biden government that the US Department of Commerce needs to conduct a comprehensive review of recent policies and issue a notice of investigation (NOI) to solicit opinions from the industry, while the Department of justice needs to issue regulations and revise policies as soon as possible. In addition, the Biden administration needs to quickly reduce the backlog of license applications, because delay is "de facto refusal.". < / P > < p > in addition to Raymond, the letters were also copied to senior officials of Biden administration, such as US Secretary of state designate Lincoln, new secretary of defense Austin and national security adviser Sullivan. < / P > < p > < strong style = "box sizing: inherit; font style: normal;" > foreign media: is this aimed at China? The letter from the International Semiconductor Industry Association calls on the incoming US Secretary of Commerce to cooperate with allies when restricting exports to China for "national security reasons," Reuters said on the 25th. < / P > < p > at present, the US Department of Commerce has not responded to this letter or related news. < / P > < p > it is worth mentioning that Reuters also mentioned the letter from the international semiconductor industry association in the news of White House spokesman Jen psaki's announcement of Sino US relations on the 25th. < / P > < p > pusaki said at the meeting on the same day that the Biden government plans to conduct an inter departmental review of the measures formulated by trump, including the imposition of trade tariffs and the delisting of Chinese enterprises. "In dealing with our relations with China, we are starting with a patient attitude. This means that we will consult with allies, Democrats and Republicans, and allow cross sectoral review and evaluation on how to promote Sino US relations. " The comments indicate that the Biden administration may be willing to change the measures taken during Trump's term of office, according to a report by the Peng Bo news agency. However, there is no sign of a change in strategy. In response to the new US government's attitude toward China, foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said at a press conference on January 20 that China's domestic and foreign policies and strategic intentions are open and transparent, and that China will unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development and always be a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development and a defender of international order. He called on the US side to take a correct view of China and Sino US relations, act in opposition to China, focus on cooperation, control differences, and push Sino US relations back to the right track. < / P > < p > < / P > < p > this article is the exclusive manuscript of observer.com and cannot be reproduced without authorization.
