INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
President Donald Trump announced the mutual tariffs, under which his administration will enforce varying tariff rates on all trade
As part of this policy, the U.S
plans to levy a 34 percent tariff on Chinese imports
The semiconductor industry, previously a focus of trade stress, was not included in the current tariff list
Despite the semiconductor sector being excluded this time, prior policies have already pressed U.S
tariffs on Chinese semiconductors to 50 percent, efficient January 2025
Over the last few years, the U.S
has heightened its technological constraints on China
Considering that 2018, over 2,000 Chinese entities in essential sectors, such as expert system, quantum computing, semiconductors, and
aerospace, have been added to the Entity List
Amid these trade barriers, Chinese innovation firms have demonstrated resilience by leveraging their self-developed technological systems
and worldwide supply chains.Chinas semiconductor industry, for example, achieved substantial turning points in 2024
According to Chinas General Administration of Customs, chip exports reached 298.11 billion units, with a total export worth of $159.5
billion, an 18.7 percent year-on-year increase.Chinas worldwide trade infrastructure has actually also expanded rapidly
Since May 2024, the Ministry of Commerce reported that China had actually developed over 2,500 overseas warehouses, covering more than 30
million square meters.Long-term financial investments in essential research study are now translating into core competitive benefits
Data from the Ministry of Science and Technology show that Chinas costs on fundamental research increased to 8.3 percent of overall research
study and advancement financial investment in 2024
As issues mount over the impact of new U.S
tariffs, leading financial experts warn that the new U.S
tariffs could destabilize domestic industries and send out shockwaves through the worldwide economy.As global trade and economic structures
deal with prospective fragmentation, an analysis by the Zhejiang Institute of Industry and Information Technology recommends that China
should adopt a phased technique to accomplishing technological self-sufficiency
In the semiconductor sector, the report recommends focusing resources on establishing a fully independent supply chain for the fully grown
28-nanometer process, from EDA tools to photoresists, while improving efficiency through innovative chiplet packaging technology.The report
also warns versus the self-sufficiency trap, warning that an isolated method could result in missed opportunities for technological
Instead, it advocates for open-source innovation to bring in global intellectual resources.
