Regarding the China International Import Expo (CIIE), which is being held in Shanghai, China, large American semiconductor companies and large manufacturing equipment companies have participated in the exhibition one after another. While the U.S. Biden administration plans to impose export curbs on cutting-edge semiconductors to China, China is an indispensable market for companies to make money. Japanese and European companies have also formed a consistent pace with American companies, and have promoted equipment and so on.
"Promoting breakthroughs in next-generation semiconductor technology", on November 6, the relevant person in charge of Lam Research, a large-scale semiconductor manufacturing equipment manufacturer in the United States, who participated in the CIIE, warmly introduced the company's relevant personnel to the company's exhibition area. Its supply performance in China and the characteristics of its own products, etc.
KLA, a large American peer company, also participated in this year's CIIE. According to reports, two U.S. companies have suspended technical support for some Chinese companies due to the U.S. tightening restrictions on semiconductors in China.
In terms of semiconductors, the participating American companies include Qualcomm, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Intel, and Texas Instruments (TI). These companies have been promoting semiconductors used in automobiles and servers, attracting the attention of Chinese companies and other stakeholders.
In addition to semiconductor companies, Microsoft, Dell Technologies, and Meta (formerly Facebook) also participated in the CIIE. The companies not only introduced the technologies that support the virtual space "Metaverse", but also demonstrated related measures that can help Chinese companies expand overseas markets.
The Biden administration has asked allies to support new restrictions on Chinese semiconductors, but like U.S. companies, European and Japanese companies’ sales to China are not low. In addition to the Dutch ASML exhibitor, Japanese companies such as Canon and Nikon also exhibited semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
