What’s behind US export controls on technology to China? | Inside Story

[@haixinzheng9759]

Japanese semiconductors were global leading in the 1980s, then the US government accused Japanese companies of unfair competition and sanctioned the Japanese companies heavily, and the market share of the Japanese semiconductor was then replaced by the Taiwanese and Korea manufacturers. The US-Japan semiconductor agreement still stands today in which 100% import tax is placed on Japanese semiconductors, whereas countries like Taiwan and Korea are paying less than 5%.

[@tooltalk]

Actually no. That ended in 1996. It is also true that Japan had unfair trade/econ policies against the US chip makers -- eg, domestic partnership requirement to access their market, tech transfer. If they sound familiar, that's b/c Japan was the inspiration for China's blatant protectionist policies.

[@haixinzheng9759]

@@tooltalk Yeah, it's always the same excuse because they couldn't compete. Japanese cars was known for its lower price and fuel efficiency when compared with American cars, in the 70s the US companies couldn't compete with Japanese imported products so the US government forced Japan to sign the Plaza accord in 1985, which manipulated its currency and forced Japanese yen to appreciate against dollar multiple times, thus brought Japan into 20 years of economic slump. It would make sense if the US had done this to China, but Japan is the biggest ally to the US in Asia in terms of economy and military, it's been treated the same way simply because the US does not want to lose the position of world dominance, to its enemies nor allies.

@@PlanetCHINA.1 : LOL! You are clueless.. Firstly, ASML's litho systems are a whole package over 100m long. Second, China has nothing to worry about if they indeed surpassed the US in everything. So stop whinning and just go organically develop your own lithos, ICS, EDA's from ground up. LOL! Third, almost all of TSMC's chief exec's and top engineers are educated in the US and worked at various US tech companies learning critical industry known-how before they were able to walk; yes, that include Morris Change, the founder of TSMC who spent nearly 30 years at TI. Fourth, I have no doubt in my mind that China would one day develop their own unique lithos completely independent from anything the West invented so far in complete isolation, but that's about 80-90 years down the road. You and I will most likely to be dead by then -- of course, unless China's amazing advances in medicine help us live 50 years more. LOL! Fifth, ASML is a Dutch company, but it sources about 80% of components from other countries -- about slightly less than 25% comes from the US. ASML's light source/laser from Cymer in the US, now a ASML subsidiary, is one example; Zeiss, a lense/glass maker from Germany, is another. There is no known Chinese supplier to ASML -- and you wonder.

@@haixinzheng9759 : what are you whining about if China's so competitive or surpassed the US already? Look, Japan still dominates the automobile business of the world -- still #1 in the US. Seriously, China is the last country that comes to mind when I think of "fairness." Just think about how China used various subsidies and incentives to attract EV batter makers, only to pull them away from foreign competitors when South Korean battery makers entered the market in the name of protecting and fostering their own young, small battery makers. Neither China or Japan should expect everyone to play "fair" while they hide and protect themselves from competition.

Here where we are now in 2022: 1) China can now mass produce 28nm and 14nm chips 2) China can now build DUV (deep ultraviolet light) lithography machines that can print 28nm chips, and can print 14nm chips with double exposure 3) What is really interesting is that it has been discovered in some bitcoin mining machines that China has been producing 7nm chips. It is likely that through multiple stage of exposure, China can use the DUV lith machines to achieve what could be done only by EUV (extreme ultraviolet light) lith machines 4) As result, US government issues bans on ASML shipping DUV lith machines to China (US has long banning EUV machines to China) 5) In response, ASML escalates its shipment of EUV machines to China, sending a total of 23 machines in less than 6 months. In addition, US is hitting China in the area of software used for chip design. On that front, China can manage to use their own "less than efficient" software to do the job. It is a blow to their productivity. But reality is that given time, they can perfect their own software with their own data. It is actually quite unfortunate that US is taking this route. Frankly speaking, China never really want to be in the chip making business. It is more than happy to be part of the global supply chain. By giving up chip making, it shows loyalty and dependency to US. They call this "hide your intention and bite your time" strategy. Everyone wants to be number one. It is OK to keep a tight watch over China for its ambition. But destroying the order of global supply chain, and allowing China to have no choice but to make their own chips ... I think US is shooting itself. Chinese recently has one popular saying, "as long as it is not built by God, we can build it too." So it seems.

The three guests only regurgitated what's already in the news and offered no analysis. BOTH China and the US made the SAME mistake in the past decades regarding chip making. They both followed the economic logic of buying versus making to arrive at their actions. In both cases, buying was cheaper than making. This approach works wonderfully in peace time, but it leaves countries vulnerable in war time. Taiwan was simply lucky in that it saw a niche in chip making by focusing not on chip design but on perfecting the making of chips based on its clients' designs, as an outsourced manufacturing post for different branded chips for its clients.

[@1isaacperkins]

Lucky your here so you can tell us all about it

[@kwamekankam-boadu2467]

In the Chip economy, there are designers and fabricators. Taiwan's TSMC is the lead fabricators of ultra advanced chips, and the leading designers of superchips is defacto USA followed by Japan. China had the benefit of fabricating low grade chips while seeking to steal know how for Taiwan but failing to recognize that Taiwan fabricates and the US is a leading designer. South Korea's Samsung is the second largest manufacturer who also recently moved the fabrication plant from China. The reason is simply, so long as China seeks to flex military and economic muscle globally in opposition to the USA, Chinese technological capabilities will and must be squeezed.

[@ngvkhtnw22]

In manufacturing of anything that requires complex designs, the inherent operational difficulty is in handling the dual success between the engineering department that focuses on design, and the production department that actually makes the stuff. Things that may look wonderful on design may give the production department a mission impossible. The US leads in chip design but lags in ultra-advanced fabrication of ultra-advanced chips. There is also an economic problem in that designing chips for a branded final product is much more profitable than actually doing chip manufacturing. If a US company is to do both, it means making the high margin business subsidy the low margin one, unless the low margin one can be as good as Taiwan's TSMC, which has benefited from decades of perfecting their craft ahead of anyone else.

@13:29, She is gravely mistaken. China is a major manufacturer of semiconductor chips. China’s several semiconductor companies don’t make the leading -edge 3 to 5 nanometer chips which is used in products where energy, heat, size, and weight are major constraints such as used in cellphone. Instead of pursuing leading-edge chip manufacturing, China’s commercial chip makers focus on making chips using yesteryear’s technology, the 15 -35 nanometer chips, which can be mass produced at a much lower price than the leading edge chips, and widely used where energy consumption, heat dissipation, size, and weight are not constraints. China is worldly known as the low price producer offering products at the ‘China Price.’ China’s forte is mass production; low cost producer of legacy chips; chips offered at cut-throat prices; huge revenue generation from massive scaling of production. TSMC’s forte is the making of state-of-art chip used in cellphone, satellite, and other applications where minimization of energy, heat, size, and weight are critical. TSMC generates massive revenue from selling the latest-and -greatest chip at sky-high prices. As TSMC dominates this sector of the chip market, buyers have no choice but to pay to play or quit.

Why were the chip manufacturers off shore anyways? Corporations are allowed to use taxes, policy and the military for their personal uses, meanwhile the taxpayers foot the bill. it's unbelievable how they never get pushback from the people.

[@Leto2ndAtreides]

They're offshore because TSMC offered a much better service, and more broadly to all companies around the world. And by focusing on building other people's chips, they became better at it than companies like Intel. And it's no small thing to build an ecosystem for a certain kind of industry. You also need the right kind of leadership. In this case, TSMC's rise is because of the leadership and vision of its founder. The US has 5% of the world's population. So you should automatically assume that 95% of the world's talent is born elsewhere. Some of that can be attracted to the US, but there's no way to try to win at everything internally. There are industries that the US has advantages in and industries it does not.

[@misterhill5598]

Many countries already tried to manufacture semiconductor chips and made huge losses. The up front cost and operation cost while the margin is small. Profit came from big volume. Intel/Nvidia can only manufacture at low volume. USA and India are 2 good examples of countries who are good at design but not good at manufacturing chips. It is a reality that they need to stick to design. Taiwan has the big silent China support behind it. Electronic manufacturing is Taiwan's main business.

[@haixinzheng9759]

Japanese semiconductors manufacturers outcompete the US companies to the extent that 6 out 10 world top semiconductor manufacturers were Japanese in the 1980s. Then the US accused the Japanese company of unfair competition and sanctioned Japanese semiconductor companies with 100% import tax, whereas the tax rate on semiconductors from other countries is less than 10%. The Japanese semiconductor has then been replaced by the Taiwanese and Korean semiconductors.

[@tooltalk]

@@Leto2ndAtreides : almost all of TSMC's top exec's and top engineers, from the founder of TSMC Morris Chang to C.C. Wei, are educated in the US and spent significant time at various US tech companies learning the trade and industry know-how. It has little or nothing to do with genetics or being born elsewhere.

Before 2004, the United States led the world in semiconductor technology, and foundries had to pay IBM's technology license fees. But in 2004, TSMC took the lead in developing 0.13-micron copper process technology ahead of IBM, ushering in the era of Taiwan's semiconductor technology leading the world. In 2014, IBM withdrew from the foundry business, and TSMC considered buying IBM's fab in New York State. However, even though IBM's technology has lagged Taiwan by a decade, the US Department of Defense and IBM, still worried about the influx of already lagging American technology into Taiwan, rejected the deal. High-tech semiconductor technology is the result of Taiwan's efforts to develop, and now the United States claims to "bring back" semiconductor production to the United States.

Part of the process, they do a bulk of the sophisticated fabrication because they have subsidized the ecosystem, but they also rely on American & European partners for other parts of the process, and the U.S. also has sophisticated fabrication capability, but on a smaller scale, which they are further correcting.

Well, to be fair to US who invented most of the chip-making technologies, it has the very right to decide who the technologies could go to. With this being said, China is also in its right to develop its own chip-making technologies by itself. By and large, competition is welcome and will boost the development of technologies.

Sorry, Syd but 85% of world Silicon comes from one mine in North Carolina. Yes, that is America and China cannot be a micro-chip powerhouse without the express Ok of the United States. In fact, China cannot even build the equipment to make the low end micro-chips.

You can't control advances in technology using a cudgel. Only a fool will think that. You need to compete and outperform your adversaries in technology. But neither party have an inkling of the magnitude of the crisis. The reality is gut-wrenching. We have fallen far behind both the Europeans and Asia in chip technology. The gap is widening and impossible to close. The combined high IQ citizens of our competitors completely overshadow what the US can muster. We simply don't have the huge number of genius levels (over 140 IQ) that is commonplace in Asia. In the US, we divert smart young people to go into non-productive fields like law and economics. So with a shortage of high-IQ workers, we are sowing what we reap. We can't sustain an economy without production yet consumes imports ravenously.

Y'all do realize that China can just buy stuff from Best Buy, and reverse engineer it, right?

[@MarkM001]

Reverse engineering is not as easy as you may think.

[@charlesscott4722]

Reverse engineering doesn't work on everything. Semiconductors and jet engines are some of those things

[@MarkM001]

@@charlesscott4722 Yep, anything where the key to making that thing is in the manufacturing process. This shows up big time when manufacturing at high production rates in chips. For example, IBM can make 7nm chips, heck; recently IBM made some 2nm chips but even though such companies have made chips every bit as advanced as TSMC they can not come anywhere close to the production rates TSMC is capable of. Good point on the jets by the way.

[@jbbeiser983]

I would like to add that chips are actually recycled in increasing quantities so for example all those millions of advanced cellphones contain chips that are so sought after, no ?

[@mintheman7]

That’s like saying you can just buy some steel and reverse engineer the smelting process. You may want to look into how chips are made.

How rich is it that a country like China, which has explicitly kept out the vast majority of Western corporations from competition within its borders unless they violate the privacy rights of their users. On behalf of that government, How rich that it would be talking about fairness of competition? MF what?!

[@tweedy4sg]

All developing countries which tries to develop a local industry in a particular area doe it (protect local players). That the only way to level the playing field. Didn't the US use tariffs did the same in the 1800s & early 1900s ? Where the industry is not critical to China's economic development, it is open fully to foreign players without restrictions. Walmart, Pizza Hut, Mcdonalds, KFC, Starbucks owns the largest chain in their respective market in China to the detriment of local players who complained to the gov't constantly but to no avail. But EU countries would limit the number of outlets from these US franchises in their countries. And EU countries are not even developing. So what rich or not rich ?
