West of the PCB information network 】 【 husband: according to the deputy chairman of the Fujitsu fertilizer held burial yobo, between semiconductor related people in the United States, the word "China challenge" is becoming a catchword. He was a senior official at Japan's ministry of economy, trade and industry, who has long served in the electronics industry. From the IBM industrial espionage act to the Japanese semiconductor agreement, the 1980s and 1990s worked on the front lines of high-tech friction in Japan.  He visited Washington, dc, in July. One of the destinations is the American semiconductor industry association (SIA). SIA, a lobby group for the U.S. semiconductor industry, was established in 1977 and has played a behind-the-scenes role in U.S. semiconductor friction in the past. Originally located on the west coast of silicon valley, the move to Washington, dc, has become more closely associated with the U.S. government and congress.  The biggest issue for the American semiconductor industry association is the "China challenge". Indeed, watching this year's news will find China's aggressive push in the semiconductor sector increasingly prominent.     The whole country strengthens the semiconductor industry  In march, xi jinping's leadership issued a manufacturing revitalization initiative in "made in China 2025", with the idea of semiconductors as one of the key areas.  In June, China's semiconductor foundry enterprises semiconductor manufacturing international (SMIC), communications equipment giant huawei technologies, a research center in Belgium and the United States qualcomm subsidiary 4 companies set up a joint venture in Shanghai, is committed to developing cutting-edge 14 process of nanometer technology. Surprisingly, President xi jinping attended the signing ceremony of the Beijing people's public hall.  In July, China semiconductor giant ziguang group offered to buy U.S. memory giant micron technology. ) for $23 billion, if implemented, will hit the Chinese enterprise acquisitions overseas history of the largest, furthermore, micron technology owned by the original, will reach memory Hiroshima plant will also be included in the Chinese capital.  Thomson Reuters survey companies in the United States in September according to the technological innovation in 2015 report released, the number of papers published in the field of semiconductor (4 ~ 14 years), the highest of the Chinese academy of sciences, 6425, is the following 2nd nearly 2 times.  In a series of news, China has been able to lift the will of the semiconductor industry. In the past, semiconductors were known as "the white rice of the industry", and its importance has not diminished. The rapid development of the IT industry over the past 20 years has also been achieved with the evolution of semiconductors.     China and the us will play a game of cutting-edge technology  Looking forward to the future, from wearable terminals, Internet of things (IoT), automatic driving to the big data technology, the current focus of almost all of the technical innovation from the evolution of the semiconductor will not be able to move forward. The technological hegemony of semiconductors in the military field, not only in civilian areas, will also be the rise and fall of a country.  The American semiconductor industry association was a fast-rising Japan. "The growing power of Japan's electronics industry threatens the foundations of the United States," he said. "the friction between Japan and the United States has intensified." In the future, there will be more tension in the IT and high-tech sectors. The battle between China and the us over cutting-edge technology will have many implications for Japan's industry.
