South Korea has an analysis and concern that if South Korean enterprises respond to the U.S. request, it will be equivalent to divulging the confidential information of China, South Korea's largest customer, to the United States. < / P > < p > the newspaper said that on October 31, on the last day of the G20 summit held in Rome, Italy, the U.S. President Biden held separate meetings with leaders of 14 countries including South Korea, Japan and the United Kingdom to discuss global supply chain issues. Although Biden did not directly mention the word "China" in his speech, all his speeches were aimed at China and sent a signal of "restructuring the global supply chain". The analysis said that for South Korea, Biden issued a "Convening order" this time It's not just against China. On September 25, the U.S. government asked multinational semiconductor enterprises to hand over their inventory, orders and sales books within 45 days in the name of "stabilizing the chip supply chain", and November 8 was the deadline. An Qixian, a specialist of the Korean semiconductor industry association, said, "The international supply chain conference convened by the United States and its allies is likely to lead to greater pressure on multinational semiconductor enterprises to hand over relevant information and intelligence," said a person in the semiconductor industry in South Korea, "If Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix respond to the requirements of the U.S. government, it is equivalent to divulging the confidential information of China, the largest customer in South Korea, to the United States. What measures China will take at that time need special attention." < / P > < p > < / P > < P > "under the G2 competition, South Korean semiconductor enterprises are worried about losing the largest market, China", South Korea's daily economy It was reported on the 2nd that from January to October this year, South Korea's semiconductor exports to China totaled US $39 billion, close to US $39.9 billion last year. China has become the largest market for South Korea's semiconductors, accounting for 40% of South Korea's semiconductor exports last year. A recent research report by the Korea Institute of foreign economics shows that South Korean semiconductor enterprises may be more and more forced to choose sides between China and the United States , the United States may directly pressure South Korean enterprises to reduce their dependence on China
