The United States'Strengthening Control Over Taiwan's Semiconductor Industry:Motives,Paths,Risks and Countermeasures
In the 1970s and 1980s,the market economy paradigm advocated by Western neoliberalism triggered a new wave of globalization.However,the 2008 global financial crisis changed the micro-foundations of globalization and the power balance it embodied,exacerbating the United States'strategic anxiety.To maintain its hegemonic position,the US defines Chinese mainland as a systemic and institutional competitor,and the global supply chain is being reshaped amidst the political wrestling between China and the US.Strategic emerging industries,such as semiconductors,have become the focus of the US's competition with China.The Biden administration,in an attempt to maintain the US's leading advantage in the semiconductor industry,strengthen control over Taiwan's semiconductor industry,coerces Taiwan's semiconductor manufacturers to invest in the US,incorporating them into a US-led chip quadrilateral alliance and multilateral export control system.This creates a semiconductor supply chain centered on US strategic interests,not only weakening the autonomy of Taiwan's semiconductor industry but also exposing Chinese mainland semiconductor industry to the risk of"decoupling and disconnection."In the face of US containment,Chinese mainland needs to focus on cultivating a high-quality semiconductor industry ecosystem,fostering top-level semiconductor innovation talents,expanding international cooperation in semiconductor technology,and promoting the high-quality development of the semiconductor industry through self-reliance and self-improvement at a high level.
