How The Escalating U.S.-China Tech War Could Hurt American Companies

Smartphones. Cars. Toasters. Fighter jets. While vastly different on the outside, all four items share something similar on the inside: semiconductors.
"There's no tech industry without semiconductors," said Stacy Rasgon, senior semiconductor analyst at Bernstein Research.
Semiconductors represent a $574 billion industry globally and are on pace to cross the trillion-dollar mark by the end of the decade. The industry has been caught in the crosshairs between the U.S. and China, two of the world's largest economies.
The U.S., which leads the world in global semiconductor market share, recently issued sweeping restrictions on the sale of advanced chips and chipmaking equipment to China, in an attempt to restrict Beijing's access to critical technologies. The Biden administration has said the export controls are aimed in part at preventing the use of American-made chips in China's military. China, meanwhile, has accused the U.S. of abusing export restrictions to impede the country's technological advances.
"We cannot allow China to have our most sophisticated semiconductor chips for use in the Chinese military," U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo said in an interview with CNBC on Oct. 30, 2023. "That's where we've drawn the cut line."
Watch the video above to find out more about how the semiconductor industry became the centerpiece of a technological tug-of-war between the U.S. and China, and what the potential implications are for companies caught in the middle of it all.

To us a consumer , do I really worry about the technical details of 7 versus 3 nm? To us it is the overall performance and dollar value. The other mistake is Chinese cannot innovate. Huawei's 5 G is leading the world. If pushed they can do it. It is also the symbiotic relationship. For US and Taiwan their R&D is possible with good revenues. They needed a market to get this revenue. Cutting of their biggest market will meant China will turn inwards. This might delay China a few years but once it develop its own ecosystem it will be the end of the US chip industry. China will export cheap EUVs and Chips. Remember the Space station fiasco?

Be Careful What You Wish For. This could backfire on the West. While China may be behind for now the restrictions which are basically sanctions will end up making China fully self-sufficient in the Chip Market. Right now no country does not rely on another to produce chips as everything needed comes from many places. While China may not be producing the newest cutting-edge chips for some time most chips sold are not the newest cutting edge. We just watched China hit 7nm and now 5nm a feat that many experts would not happen so fast. People think that when it bans something from China it has no access to that item. That is not true there are many ways that China can still get their hands on these items. As we have seen with many things China catches up fast and they surpass other countries just the same. Sanctions will not work forever, they rarely if ever do. Don't count China out. They will get the technology, they will produce it eventually, and knowing China they will do it cheaper and faster in the long run. They are only 'delaying' the inevitable and making China accelerate what it has to do all that much faster. Sometimes you are better off leaving them alone than incentivizing them.

[@ShengLeeqfzpjm159]

Because after the chip war, Chinese chip buyers will avoid buying chips from the United States or even other countries because they don’t want to go through the nightmare of high-priced purchases when sanctions were first imposed. Secondly, engineers don’t want to go through the nightmare of restructuring the framework again. For chip manufacturers in the United States and other countries, once trust is lost, it will be difficult to win the favor of buyers no matter how low the price is, which means they will not have orders from China. Secondly, this is a golden era for Chinese chip manufacturers. As long as they are willing to work hard and cooperate with the buyers' engineers at all times, they will receive a steady stream of orders and have the funds to develop better products. (By the way, if something happens to the chip, you will get real-time feedback if you contact the Chinese manufacturer; if you contact the foreign manufacturer, you may have to wait a week before getting feedback. This kind of after-sales service will make buyers favor Chinese manufacturers more)

China's SMIC can produce 7nm chips and 5nm chips are said to be beginning production. SMIC is also said to be developing 3nm processes. Huawei and SMEE are said to be testing an EUV equivalent lithography machine due out later this year. China's Tsinghua University is leading the charge to build a particle accelerator lithography process that could reduce the cost of lithography. Then there are the efforts in China to produce photonic, graphene, and quantum chips. China currently has a photonic and quantum chip production line online and graphene wafers of 8 inch and 12 inch have been produced and transistors have been made on graphene.

That battle is already lost for the US. We are at a point where AI can design new AI chips on its own. And you can run AI on any processor - just less power efficient. Innovation is just much faster in China than in the US. China just has a lot more people who are well educated. In Beijing they have a huge specialized university just for aviation and aerospace. Sooner or later they will have the best planes. They already build the best smartphones. The US have been the world's leading superpower for a long time, but those days are numbered. China already finances a big chunk of the US debt and that very much limits how much pressure the US can apply on China. China can probably build five or more tanks, missiles or battle chips for the price of one in the US. So China only needs to spend a small fraction of the US military budget to get the same fire power. Just look how much the Russian military achieves with a small budget. China already has ten times the GDP of Russia and it could easily have an army of five million soldiers and more. Each country really has to decide if it will continue to be on the side of the old superpower or the new one.

[@JigilJigil]

There is no innovation in China, they sck at it, in regards to the military this is China: *Pakistan* inducted *Chinese multi-role frigates* as part of their efforts to strengthen its sea frontiers, however, *these frigates are giving jitters to the Pakistani Navy due to the defective critical components and poor service* from Chinese manufacturers. *Di Valerio Fabbri, writing in Geopolitica.* said that these have forced the Pakistani Navy to operate these frigates with degraded operational capabilities, compromising some of the key mission objectives with which these ships were bought at a high price. After the commissioning of the frigates, the Pakistani Navy found out that *the onboard imaging device of the FM90 (N) missile system was defective because of a faulty indication on display,* reported Geopolitica. *The system was unable to lock on to the target* which, in a way, *made the missiles ineffective,* thereby defeating one of the critical mission objectives. As it turned out, these ships were found to be equipped with a *defective infra-red sensor (IR17) system and SR 60 radars, two of the most important sensors on board,* which are used for air and surface search. These search and track radars were found to exhibit faults during high-power transmissions, substantially degrading their operational utility. *The IR 17 sensors on all the ships were found to be defective and had to be discarded,* with the replacement yet to be fitted, reported Geopolitica. Another set of common faults in the Chinese-built frigates was found in its main engines. These frigates are powered by four diesel engines. *A critical engine defect has been low engine speed caused by high turbocharger exhaust temperatures, especially in engines 3 and 4, on all the frigates,* said Fabbri. *A high degree of degradation was noticed in the engine crankcase and liner* which undermined the coolant chemistry in the ships. Lube oil degradation and deterioration of vibration isolators were some other faults in the engines. There were other specific deficiencies in different ships. *PNS Aslat, for instance, exhibited poor radar performance. The ASO-94 Sonar system on Aslat was erratic in its performance* and on inspection it was found it was caused by faulty computing units. Likewise, *Aslat’s SR-47 BG Search Radar was below par in performance and repairs were carried out with cannibalised parts from other F22P ships.* The frigate developed a serious snag during an operational deployment in the Gulf of Aden, reported Geopolitica. *An equally serious deficiency noticed in PNS Zulfiqar,* the first Chinese frigate to be commissioned, was the NG 16 single barrel 76mm gun mounted on it. *The gun, equipped to engage other ships and aircraft and defend against anti-ship missiles, developed numerous faults in the mechanical and electrical parts,* severely limiting its utility. Meanwhile, *PNS Saif has been running with a problematic HP5 stabiliser gyro* since its commissioning. *A gyroscopic fin stabilizer, found on both sides of a ship’s hull, prevents excess rolling of a ship, in either direction."*

Although, normally machine called EUV is used for advanced chip manufacturing but US banned China from importing EUV from Netherlands company ASML.

It works but it comes with lower yield, reuslting less economic viability compared to non Chinese chip manufacturers.

[@lagrangewei]

the "low yield" claim is a myth. TSMC DUV yield was higher than their EUV yield at 7nm. why? because EUV's laser is not strong enough. EUV sound better in theory but because of limitation in the current machines, it is not able to reach it theoratical performance. I expect ASML will need a couple more version to refine their tech before they can really produce a product that could hit it full potential. the other issue is finfet minimal size has been reach so u can't really take advantage of higher resolution since you still need to print it that size for it to work. to overcome it, we will have to move to nanowire, which mean stacking the line one on top of the other instead of side by side. this mean layering which mean the number of wafer that can be produced will be reduced. requiring a bigger fab and more machines to do the same job. this is why the cost of processor jump expoentially as the processes become smaller, but the performance improvement remains linear.

1:15 this is a mistake because "2nm" has no relation to any actual physical feature (such as gate length, metal pitch or gate pitch) e.g. in a "2nm" process, gates can fit some 20-30 strands of DNA between its walls; then, the size of a complete transistor is even more larger than that; and ultimately when you take into account the spacing between transistors, it just becomes a pointless comparison

[@gags730]

Hopefully, most people realize that the size or node has really nothing to do with the physical size of the transistors. It hasn't for a long time because of the way they make the newer transistors. If anything it just signifies where a company is in the tech pipeline of producing a chip and how advanced they are with that technology. Some things do not even scale down on the chip like transistors once did... for example look at the size of the IO on a chip.

China did not produce high end chips before trade war, Trump is correct, he said that Taiwan has been taking advantage of USA for many year over high end semiconductor manufacturing. Therefore, To allocate TSMC and Samsung into US soil is correct. In the future, USA and China can both sufficiently produce high end semiconductors on their own. because USA put sanctions on China to purchase high end chips, which result in China innovation and techno breakthrough on high end semiconductor industry, for example, Kirin 9000S is 5 NM, 5G , high end chips made by China alone, while Kirin 910B is AI chip as powerful as A100 chip made by Nvidia.

In 2011, Obama proposed the "Pivot to Asia" strategy, which shifted the focus of US foreign policy from the Middle East to Asia. This, along with the wargaming of a sea blockade of Chinese commercial ships on a global scale, the formation of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which deliberately excluded China, the establishment of a 2500-strong US marine air-ground task force in Darwin, and an increase in the rotation of both US Air Force planes and US Navy vessels through Australian bases, alarmed the Chinese leadership. Unable to remain passive, hide their strength, and bide their time, Xi Jinping was selected as the leader of China in 2013 to make China more secure. These included the establishment of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, the Belt and Road initiative, and the building of artificial islands in the South China Sea. These policies were a direct response to the perceived threat posed by the "Pivot to Asia" strategy. No country is excluded from joining the AIIB or the Belt and Road Initiative. Obama's intentions were clarified when he responded to Xi Jinping's proposal on September 25, 2015, to make the South China Sea (SCS) a non-militarized zone by initiating freedom of navigation operations in the SCS on October 27, 2015. In 2015, The “Made in China 2025”, (MIC 2025) initiative was launched. It was cheaper for China to buy reliable Western chips, benefiting both sides. China spends more on chip imports than on oil. The "Made in China 2025" initiative provided substantial funds for chip development, but companies were hesitant due to technical challenges and the risk of competing with established players like Intel, Samsung, and TSMC. With US sanctions, China shifted focus, prompting the emergence of new chip research companies and increased government subsidies, making domestic chip development a top priority for Chinese research institutions. When self-sufficient, China can provide the world with cheaper chips, while the West and its allies lose access to both the Chinese and global markets. The US is developing its own supply chain, but without access to a large market, it cannot be competitive. The US is leaving no knees untouched in its Tonya Harding competition strategy. The Chinese are very grateful to the US for pushing them towards self-sufficiency. Thanks to the US, China now has its own GPS system and space program. More sanctions, please. China is working on a 75-meter-radius SSMB (Steady-State Microbunching) particle accelerator to provide 1KW continuous, pure EUV light sources for multiple lithography machines, enabling the production of chips with a process size of less than 2nm and beyond.

我相信合作永远胜于对抗。如果你的利益是建立在伤害他人的基础上的，那么你就是不公正的。

It's not about harming others! It's about reality! China is an adversary of the US! What do you thing adversaries do to there competitors when they succeed to have an edge over them? That's what we want to prevent and the sooner, the better!

By 2019, China imports around 450 billion dollars worth annually from semiconductors from US Aa year which is the biggest import of good even exceeds the oil imports. So instead of buying the Chinese government and Chinese companies are just investing money into the industry.

what about the US civil-military fusion systems like DARPA, DoD working with private companies and the like? 🙂

Very biased reporting.

[@pohkhui]

not bias. the western mentality is all the while like so. otherwise, why only they were the coloniser and look down on other races.

US actions simply proved how farsighted Chinese government is. One would wish US government can be as intelligent and responsible as that of China.

CNBC videos are always bangers. I try to never miss any video!

[@kngharv]

This video painted a picture as if China started this tech war. The reality is other way around: Trump administration banned chips against ZTE was the trigger that started China's massive effort of self-reliant. So, no, CNBC is a propaganda arm that gives biased and partial information.

LMAO they can't even move it out of Taiwan which has much higher wages because of how important skilled workers are in the manufacturing process

[@johnc1873]

why don't you move it to USA? oh yeah, because Americans aren't skilled enough workers to manufacter them. Only Chinese people can, whether that be Chinese from Taiwan or Mainland.
