Ex-Samsung exec urges U.S. to abandon chip strategy with China

According to the report, Liang Xiangzi said in an interview with the "Financial Times", "If (Washington) continues to try to punish other countries and pass bills and implement 'America First' policies in an unpredictable way, other countries may form against the United States. alliance."

"The United States is the most powerful country in the world," she added, "it should give more consideration to the common values of mankind. It is not advisable to use its own strength as a weapon."

The report mentioned that Washington continues to tighten restrictions on chips from China, but Seoul is worried that the US measures will trigger a strong response from Beijing, which may disrupt supply chains and threaten corporate profits.

Liang Xiangzi also added, "The more the U.S. sanctions China, the more China will strive to achieve rapid technological progress. China will provide more support at the national level to achieve this goal. Considering China's abundant talents and raw materials, this will Bringing a crisis to South Korea", "The United States should abandon the current approach, which is trying to gain something by shaking and disrupting the global value chain."

In July this year, Bloomberg and Reuters reported with sources familiar with the matter that the CEOs of the three major US chip giants Intel, Nvidia, and Qualcomm organized a delegation to meet with senior federal government officials on the 17th to discuss China policy, hoping to persuade the US government to give up on China. China has imposed more chip export restrictions, and chip company executives hope that the Biden administration understands that expanding chip export restrictions will damage the White House's current diplomatic efforts with China. The US Semiconductor Industry Association also issued a statement urging the US government to "not further restrict" chip sales to China before engaging with industry insiders and experts more extensively. The statement called on the government to allow U.S. chip companies to continue to enter the Chinese market, arguing that "China is the world's largest commercial market for commodity semiconductors."

"Global Times" published an editorial titled "I hope the 'petition' of US semiconductor companies can wake up Washington" on July 19, saying that the US's extreme suppression of China may create some troubles and difficulties that damage the interests of both sides, but It will never crush China, nor will it hinder China's development and technological progress in the end. The price the United States has to pay for this is extremely high. American chip companies have seen this clearly, and hope that this "petition" can wake up some people in Washington.
