US government warns China to play fair in the chip market

[AViet]

that statement is a typical governmental bullshit of the west. no government can enable competitiveness. it is a job of entrepreneurs. Chinese government actually plays the role of entrepreneurs because it claims to be socialistic. I doubt US government will admit it's own socialistic economic policy.

this is kind of word playing, like what the US and the West have been doing with terms like "democracy", "freedom" or "market economy"

The chip industry is the last gap between U.S and China ... right now China is world 1st biggest chip market, U.S has the most chip manufacturers. I believe when Chinese can design & produce more chips / processors than American made, future China can surpass U.S when we to reach such achievement.

Greater China already produces more chips than US, even more than rest of the world combined, the challenge is design. To be more specific, it's fabless and architecture, in the global commercial sector (excluding military or other state sectors).

Tech reserves are abundant, see supercomputers, however status quo in the global commercial sector on fabless/architecture is not even a tech challenge, but a business one. China needs to place strategic investments across the whole value chain from hardware to software, setting industry standard and build ecosystem. For example, China just missed the opportunity to acquire ARM (now owned by Softbank), Chinese firms must find other ways, organic or M&A, to cut into fabless/architecture. The advantage is, like TD-CDMA is influencing global 5G stadard, China does have a huge home market (and industrial complex), if not world's biggest, to influence global standard-setting.

Not enough, as a engineer my daily job is working with these 16-bit / 32-bit MCU chips from NXP, Freescale, TI, Renesas, ST etc ... some r ARM core some not. Everyday our Chinese engineers using millions of micro-processor & micro-controller from above American companies to produce 'Made in China' smart goods, most of famous MCU not belong to China ... yes Chinese r producing kinds of chips but low-level chips, as far as i known few r China including STC / 新唐 ... most r 8-bit enhanced-8051 core and cheap ARM Cortex-M0 core. Im working in the field so im fimilar with these chips, we still has gap with West like U.S, the bigger gap is about high-level MCU and CPU chip.

When the day come, China has many chip makers greater than NXP, Freescale, TI, Renesas, ST, Intel, AMD, Nvidia ... im 100% sure China can surpass U.S ! One solution is just Chinese buy above whole chip makers from U.S to teach our chip makers & make China chip industry more stronger ! Take Care ~ Chinese on the way !!!
