Although American politicians seem to be determined to continue to seek a strategy of decoupling with China in the high -tech field, the continuous layoffs of the American technology giant clearly show that whychipExport restrictions are unsustainable for the United States, and it is a clumsy industry.
American media AXIOS quoted government officials on Saturday that the Bayeng government may soon announce new controls on artificial intelligence (AI) chips and devices that can be sold to China.
This is not the second report of foreign media.Last week, Reuters reported that Washington is considering how to block the vulnerabilities of Chinese companies' overseas subsidiaries to obtain American artificial intelligence chips, and AXIOS's article claims that new regulations may apply to chips with weaker features.It covers the initial guidelines, but still has advanced functions.
No matter what the final rules are, one thing is yes: they will cause a new blow to the American chip company, and these companies have faced difficulties when demand shrinks.
Just near, globalsmart phoneChip manufacturerQualcommThe company announced that it plans to lay off 1,258 in the San Diego and San Clara in San Diego and San Clara, California.Financial Officer Akash Palkhiwala told analysts that Qualcomm will actively implement additional cost actions.
The direct reason for Qualcomm's layoffs is poor performance.According to its third quarter financial report, net profit dropped to $ 1.8 billion, a year -on -year decrease of 52%.Intel also announced layoffs after the quarterly profit declined sharply.
In the case of weak demand due to factors such as global chip manufacturers due to economic prospects and other factors, the Chinese market cannot be lost.
In contrast to the continuous efforts to cut off the US chip industry and China in the United States, the American chip giant has always tried to find ways to continue to carry out business with China by avoiding the US chip ban.For example, after U.S. regulators prohibit Nvidia from selling these chips to Chinese customers, Nvidia modified its flagship products A100 and H100 chips to versions that were unavoidable to China in accordance with the United States regulations.
In addition, according to media reports, the executives of major American chip companies such as Intel, Qualcomm, and Nvidia met with Biden government officials in July to urge more restrictions on Chinese chip exports.
Their opposition and concerns are completely reasonable.The global semiconductor industry and supply chain are determined by market dynamic laws and enterprises.China is the global chip market, with imports in 2022 reached 415.6 billion US dollars.
If the Washington politician continues to choose the wrong way to maintain technical strength, and the voices of the industry will be disappeared, one possible result is that American chip companies will face greater risks.
Not only will they lose their huge markets, they will also see the rise of competitors, because the American chip war reminds us the importance of independent innovation, and also enhances China's determination to pursue technological innovation and progress.
Although the US chip ban may bring some difficulties to the Chinese semiconductor industry in the short term, in the long run, it will provide the time and market space required for domestic industry participants to grow and boom in future competition.

Judging from the achievements of Chinese semiconductor companies in recent years, especially Huawei's breakthroughs, people have soberly realized that only China has sufficient technological progress can American scientific and technological warfare fail.
