The tension held by the US and China for more than five years is due to a very evident purpose: these two countries are disputing world supremacy. It is no secret. In fact, the government led by Joe Biden Openly recognized In the document that collects your National Security Strategy October 2022 that China has the necessary capacity and resources to dispute the US Its world leadership position. The following literal extract of this document reflects very clearly why the US government considers China a threat: “The People’s Republic of China (RPC) is the only competitor that has both the intention of remodeling international order and every time, every time Moreover, the economic, diplomatic, military and technological capacity to do so. The social, economic, military and technological development that the country led by Xi Jinping has experienced during the last two decades supports this conclusion. In fact, China is currently a world leader in five key technologies from a strategic point of view because of the relevance they already have, and, above all, due to what they will have in the future. And in other bids increasingly high. Even so, there is an area in which this gigantic Asian country still seems to be far from reaching a domain position: The semiconductors. These are the five strategic technologies in which China has already managed to lead One of the objectives of SANCTIONS TO CHINA that the US and its allies have deployed during the last two and a half years is to stop the development of the Chinese semiconductor industry. And to achieve this, the US governments, the Netherlands and Japan have banned their manufacturers of lithography equipment, among which are ASML, Tokyo Electron either Apply materialssell your most advanced machines to your Chinese customers. China is world leader in unmanned aerial vehicles, solar panels, graphene, high -speed trains, electric vehicles and lithium batteries Chinese lithography equipment manufacturers have the support of the XI Jinping administration to develop machines from extreme ultraviolet lithography (UVE) as soon as possible, but due to its complexity with all probability They will not be ready before five years. In addition, most semiconductor experts, including Chinese technicians, defends that China is Between 5 and 10 years more backward than the West in the development of photolithographic equipment. The country of Xi Jinping, as we have just seen, does not lead in chips. However, as we can verify in the graph that we publish under these lines, it is the world leader in non -manned aerial vehicles, solar panels, graphene, high -speed trains, electric vehicles and lithium batteries. This graph has been prepared by JOSTEIN HAUGEwhich is professor of economics at the University of Cambridge (England), taking as reference the data collected by Bloomberg Intelligence and Bloomberg Economics. This leadership position in these areas is the result of the “Made in China 2025” plan announced by XI Jinping himself in 2015. His starting point in some of these technologies, such as solar panels or practical graphene applications, was very solid a decade ago, but still there is no doubt that this strategy has been a success. And, in addition, it will remain in force to allow China to fight from you with other great powers for leadership in semiconductors, Quantum computers, artificial intelligence either Robotsamong other technologies that have enormous strategic relevance.

As we have just seen, the country led by Xi Jinping has failed to lead in integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, robots, commercial aviation or medicines, among other areas, but its domain of the market of solar panels is overwhelming. China’s quota in the world photovoltaic cell market Broken 80%and for the moment only India seems to have the ability to disturb him in the long term. Its manufacturing capacity is 17 times greater than the rest of the planet togetherwhich has encouraged the Chinese administration to support the manufacture of More than 1,000 GW in N -type cell capacity As the other countries fulfill their net emission commitments. Of course, a good part of Chinese solar panel manufacturers is selling to losses with the purpose of growing as much and as fast as possible. China produces 60% of the world graphite because it has the largest natural reserves of the planet, and graphene is manufactured from this raw material We are now with unmanned aerial vehicles. China controls 90% of the world market of consumer drones and professionals thanks to the success that in recent years are having manufacturers such as DJI (Dà-Jiāng-Innovations), FIMI or Autel Robotics, among others. The domain of this country of the markets of drones and solar panels is the result of a recipe in which the support of the Chinese government, the continuous improvement of the technologies involved in the product and Extremely competitive prices. In the graphene market, the same thing happens essentially as in the two we have just explored. China produces 60% of the world graphite Because it has the largest natural reserves of the … Read more
