美芯片企业正游说政府减少贸易限制，中国半导体协会：推动当局支持国际合作

中国半导体行业协会关于维护半导体产业全球化发展的声明

近日，我协会注意到媒体广泛报道了一些美国芯片企业的领导人正试图游说美国政府减少贸易限制、推动全球合作。美国半导体行业协会也发布了“关于美国政府对半导体产业潜在额外限制的声明”。这集中反映了美国半导体产业界对美国政府所作所为的担忧。

数十年来，半导体产业能够持续创新并蓬勃发展，得益于全球各主要国家和地区产业主体的相互协作，是全球化分工发展的结果，半导体产业也因此成为全球化最充分的代表。中国大陆作为全球最大的半导体市场，为全球合作伙伴提供了超过80%的巨大市场，有力地支撑了全球电子信息产品的供应，为全人类的福祉（包括最不发达国家）做出了重要贡献。中国半导体行业协会坚信，经过数十年发展起来的半导体产业全球化一旦被破坏，必然会对全球经济产生严重的负面影响，不仅会导致半导体全球供应链的碎片化，也会破坏全球市场的统一，进而断送全球经济的繁荣。过去二十多年，美国半导体产业积极推动和引领了半导体产业的全球化分工，为半导体产业的全球化做出了重要贡献。令人遗憾的是，美国政府近年采取了一系列限制措施破坏半导体产业的全球化，破坏半导体全球供应链的稳定，将不可避免地损害全球消费者的利益，也会削弱美国半导体产业的竞争力，理所当然地引发了包括美国半导体产业在内的全球人士的广泛担忧。

中国半导体产业根植于全球化，成长和壮大于全球化。我们将始终坚持开放合作，与世界各国、各地区一切愿意合作的产业界同仁共同维护半导体产业的全球化，推动政府/当局支持半导体产业的国际合作。同时，中国半导体产业也会持续创新，不断提升自己的竞争力，与全球伙伴共同发展。

CSIA Statement on maintaining the global development of the semiconductor industry

The recent widespread media coverage brought to our attention that leaders of major US chip companies are trying to persuade the US government to avoid expansions on trade restrictions, and to promote international cooperation. SIA also released the "Statement on Potential Additional Government Restrictions on Semiconductors", which echoed the concerns from the US semiconductor industry leaders over the direction of the trade policy-making of the US government.

For decades, the semiconductor industry has always been able to continue to innovate and flourish, owing to the collaboration among major countries and regions. Benefitting from the regional specialization of capabilities and international cooperation, our industry has become a specimen of globalization. Mainland of China provides an enormous market, which accounts for more than 80% on global basis, for its trading partners around the world. The existence of such market supports the development of the global supply of electronic and information products over the years, which makes an important contribution to the well-being of people around the world, including to the least developed countries. China Semiconductor Industry Association believes that any damage to the current global supply chain, which developed over the past decades alongside the process of globalization, could create inevitable and irreparable harm to the global economy. Not only such damage can lead to the fragmentation of the semiconductor global supply chain, but also could risk the integrity of the global market, and the prosperity of the global economy.

Over the past decades, the US semiconductor industry led the specialization based on regional and geographical specialties, which actively shaped the current global semiconductor industry. These are very important contributions to the industry. However, in the past few years, the US government has taken a series measures restricting trade, and disrupting the stability of the semiconductor global supply chain. As a consequence, the interests of global consumers will be harmed, the competitiveness of the US semiconductor industry might be jeopardized, and the globalization of the semiconductor industry would be threatened. These generated shared concern around the world, including in the US semiconductor industry.

China's semiconductor industry is rooted in and developed from globalization. We welcome open cooperation, and will work with all the countries and regions willing to collaborate with our industry to safeguard the globalization of semiconductor industry, and to assist government and authorities to facilitate international cooperation in the industry. At the same time, China's semiconductor industry will also continue to innovate, improve our competitiveness, to develop and progress together with our global partners.
