Heavyweight! The government investigates the integrated circuit industry and gives play to the advantages of the new nationwide system

    The integrated circuit is the core hub of the modern industrial system, which is related to the national security and the Chinese path to modernization process. China has formed a relatively complete integrated circuit industry chain, and a number of excellent enterprises and entrepreneurs have emerged, which have formed strong capabilities in some parts. In particular, China has a huge chip consumption market and rich application scenarios, which are the most valuable resources under the market economy and strategic advantages to promote the development of integrated circuit industry.

    Liu He stressed that the development of the integrated circuit industry must give full play to the advantages of the new nationwide system and make good use of the power of the government and the market. The government should formulate integrated circuit industrial policies in line with the national conditions and the new situation, set pragmatic development goals and development ideas, help enterprises coordinate and solve difficulties, play a good organizational role in the field of market failure, guide long-term investment, give preferential policies to domestic talents without discrimination, give real national treatment to foreign experts, and help enterprises speed up the introduction and training of talents. At the same time, we must attach great importance to giving full play to the important role of market power and industrial ecology, establish a mechanism for tackling key problems with enterprises as the main body, and rely on entrepreneurs to realize the healthy development of the integrated circuit industry. In particular, we should be good at finding and cherishing the leading talents who have both technical knowledge and strong organizational ability, and give them full play. We must always adhere to international cooperation, make more friends, expand openness, and firmly maintain the stability of the global industrial chain supply chain.

    It is worth mentioning that on February 15, the China Semiconductor Industry Association issued a statement, emphasizing that semiconductors are the core of the global digital infrastructure, the premise of eliminating the digital divide for all mankind, and the foundation of ensuring people‘s livelihood in modern society. The semiconductor industry is a global industry, which has been highly dependent on global division of labor and cooperation for a long time. Any artificial tearing of the global industrial system will cause immeasurable harm to the life and development of the global people.

    Open cooperation is the best choice to create value and promote global progress. Looking back on the development of the global semiconductor industry for more than 60 years, the reason why the industry has shown today‘s prosperity is that it depends on the global market and global cooperation and innovation, which is also the core driving force for the development of the semiconductor industry.

    China Semiconductor Industry Association joined the World Semiconductor Council (WSC) in 2006, which not only shows the firm determination of China‘s semiconductor industry to integrate into globalization and marketization, but also shows the determination of China and its global colleagues to develop the global semiconductor industry.

    China‘s semiconductor market has always adhered to open cooperation, created economic value with global enterprises, and jointly promoted scientific and technological progress. The China Semiconductor Industry Association calls on the global semiconductor industry and academia to unite to defend the globalization of the semiconductor industry, promote cooperation and innovation, and continue to create benefits for the industry and human society.

    The China Semiconductor Industry Association calls on the government and relevant institutions to formulate rules to safeguard the ecological and healthy development of the global semiconductor industry. For foreign enterprises defending the concept of globalization and the values of the global semiconductor industry, support their healthy business operation in the Chinese market.

    Looking back on history and summing up experience, the trend of China‘s economic growth bringing us development opportunities will not change. China Semiconductor Industry Association calls on all member units to unite in good faith and resolutely safeguard the stability of the global industrial chain; We should strengthen confidence, respond positively, carry forward the ambition of the industry, prosper the industrial ecology, and create a broad future together.

    From the perspective of Shenzhen, looking back last year, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Commerce issued the Opinions on Several Special Measures to Relax Market Access in Shenzhen‘s Construction of the Pilot Demonstration Zone of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics (hereinafter referred to as the Opinions), which proposed to support Shenzhen in establishing an international trading center for electronic components and integrated circuits for market-oriented operation and creating a new market access platform for electronic components, integrated circuit enterprises and products, Promote the integration and cluster development of upstream and downstream supply chains and industrial chains. Support electronic components and integrated circuit enterprises to settle in the trading center, encourage domestic and foreign users to purchase electronic components and various specialized chips through the trading center, and support integrated circuit design companies and user units to cooperate through the trading center.

    In addition, the Opinions also put forward to actively encourage and guide world-renowned basic electronic components and chip companies and upstream and downstream enterprises (including brands, distributors or manufacturers) to rely on the center to carry out sales, procurement, brand display, software solution research and development, application design, after-sales service, personnel training, etc. Support the design, research and development, manufacturing, testing and other businesses of electronic components, reduce the total cost of the supply chain, and realize the free circulation and overall management of production factors in the electronic components industry chain.

    In addition, shortly afterwards, the Shenzhen Municipal People‘s Government issued the Several Measures on Further Promoting the Steady Growth and Quality Improvement of Shenzhen‘s Industrial Economy (hereinafter referred to as the "Several Measures"), which mentioned that enterprises should be supported to expand the international market, speed up the construction of an international trading center for electronic components and integrated circuits, and promote the supply and price stability of key components.
