In October 2022, the Biden administration placed a large-scale ban on the sale of advanced semiconductor chips to China. They also implemented a series of other rules that prevents China from making these chips on their own. These chips are used in everyday technology, like our mobile phones and computers. They’re also crucial to military and intelligence systems, which is one of the main reasons they're at the center of a feud between the United States and China.
Microchips were first invented in the US in the 1950s, after which their use rapidly expanded worldwide. Since then, the supply chain for these chips has grown and spread to include countries in Europe and Asia. And while some countries have caught up to the US's edge in making these advanced chips, China still falls far behind despite multiple attempts to gain an advantage.
Watch the latest episode of Vox Atlas to understand why China is losing a new cold war with the US over microchips.

Some extra info: Zeiss, a german company that produces lenses is also the only company with the most advanced lenses which asml uses for their machines.
zeiss在二战期间是德国纳粹的得力助手
yes thats why ASML bought a big part of Zeiss
so whoever supplies the glass to ZEISS must be the most important origin story to the worlds chips.
Or the people that supply the sand to the glass company, that then sends to ZEISS.
@@brodoxl i didnt know that, thank you!
@@brodoxl as far as i know ASML owns or has a big share in most of the companies that i needs to build the machines.
I'm always surprised how relatively unknown a company like ASML is to the larger audience. It has a unique key strategic position in the world that no other company has. You don't often see that and it represents both a strength and a weakness for the free western world.
@@Croz89 ARM is not as critical, RISC V is a good alternative. There is no alternative to ASML, Nikon has given up on EUV. They are decade or more ahead of everybody else.
It's not that someone can or cannot build it, it's that no one can afford to build it. It's too expensive to build
How did china get to 7nm without ASML
It's not surprising at all. How many people know what lithography is?
"free western world"
Ironic.

Yea china is totally winning they are so advanced they basically mass produced a chip technology which the world mass produced in 2016 (7 years ago) lol

Brilliant video. Thanks.
While it may seem like the "chip war" is between China and the US allies, it's actually pretty 2 dimensional. US allies (Japan, South Korea and Taiwan) too are competing among themselves to out-pace each other. No one wants to end up in a situation where it can be casted out easily. While TSMC (of Taiwan) is building new plants in both America and Japan, their foreign investments do not involve most advanced technology, keeping the US' incentive to defend Taiwan from China intact.
Both Japan and South Korea has announced their own set of lucrative subsidies to poach companies from each other countries. They are also worried about losing market share in China and China hampering the supply chain of raw materials if it feels cornered.
This is just the beginning.
@@ThePirateParrot Explain?
@@user-gc1hg9sp9k True but as long as the politics side of things are concerned, this video sums up things pretty well.
TSMC not building much internationally isn't about geopolitics and having a reason to defend Taiwan, it is a practical business case of having your engineers and researchers close to the manufacturing lines as there is a synergy of the various aspects of their business that having far flung branches does not grant them.
@@msytdc1577 Company's officials may know the real reason but there's anxiety among Taiwanese people for sure. Opposition has blamed the ruling party for "gifting TSMC to the US". The chairman of TSMC cleared the tension last December by telling that they're investing more in South Taiwan than what they did in the US. There can be more than one reason behind a move.

@@bassyeyNobody? Chinese smartphones are everywhere in the world, we're all nobodies it seems
As a person who has spent 35 years in silicon valley's chip industry, while this video has many things right it also misses many pieces of the puzzle. Labor cost is not the primary reason chip manufacturing moved offshore. A huge factor was that chip fabs are extremely expensive and capital for building them was very expensive in the USA in the 80s when this trend really ramped up. The inflation of the 70s was a mighty contributor to that. Yes, it is true that the south Korean and Taiwanese governments were very supportive of having their engineering students pursue graduate education in the USA and such students often dominated the Semiconductor section of American Graduate schools from at least the late 1970s. In my grad school 20 of 23 Research Assistants in Semiconductor physics were from either Taiwan or S. Korea. only 2 were Americans. Taiwan and S. Korea saw the strategic value while American politicians didnt distinguish between potato chips and semiconductor chips as one politico explicitly stated.
As a person who grew up in Taiwan, I can confirm that not only the country but the entire society encourages students to study EE. Ever since middle school, I have been told that EE is the king of engineering from parents, teachers, and the news. They don’t tell people to pursue their dreams like most Americans do. Instead, I was told that if I want a house, a car, and a wife, I should study EE. The successful path to take is to study EE undergrad in Taiwan, then EE grad in top US schools, and only after I’ve done that, I can have a life.
@@JoeChang1999 same in here s.korea.
@@JoeChang1999So how are you doing now? Did you finish your graduate education in US or are you a engineer in TSML? I’m just curious since I’m also a student who will study in the US and might major in Electronic Microfabrication

@@qoo4121 When the Afghanistan, Vietnam and other nations that were 50 years or more behind the US in tech and industry, the Uncle Sam still could not secure a complete victory. Anyway, I completely understand the notion of the American. After all, their tech and industry have long located at the top of the world, and they are too immersed in this type of status. However, in their perspective 100 years may be long, but in our point of view, that's only a fraction of the history. In this case, if they claim that they are ahead of you for 10 years or 30 years anyway, just agree them. Do the right thing and make progress everyday is the most important. Please keep in mind my bro, each one step closer to them, their arrogance decreases one point.

I had a similar problem back in the day. Luckily, this is an easy fix -- you just need to identify and kidnap his top scientist. A few hours with The Machine and they will tell you exactly how he gets to them first.

Last week, Huawei Phone with made-in-China MPU has been released, which support 5G network as well as satellite call at the same time. Let's tell whether China is losing the war after a few years from now.
Its 7nm . Apple had 3nm chips
@@Username-mn7pc the first step is always hard,but its just a beginning
😂😂😂😂😂 well this satellite call is working well hahaha
usa can not make 2nm chips itself@@Username-mn7pc
@@Username-mn7pcSo what? Do you even understand what the difference is between 7 and 4? It's just slight efficiency. 7nm is enough for anything in the world. 90% of the chip market uses 28nm+ including military. it's just phones that need smaller chips and a 14nm node that performs as a 4-5nm and the US labels as 7nm with 5G capabilities is enough to take back the stolen market share from the champion of "free market".
First, am not here to defend China (If you're a hater, then move on. I am here for evident-based discussion). Second, Vox team did a great job on summarizing tech/chip war happening now between China vs US in 10 min vid.
My first critic, the title is an eye-grabber; this war is on-going and China has not lost yet. It should be better titled, 'Why China is losing the microchip war up to this point'.
Now for some details not presented in the video to add another layer to this discussion.
First point on microchip itself: while microchip indeed are essential in all modern tech, the advanced chips (10nm) and the ones that China is losing right now is the advanced chips (
China is theft of everything
1) a lot of real life counterfactuals would provide evidence that the not disciplined enough productivity slur is a racial trope and a self interested claim by a CEO. Doesn't matter, it's far from factual and clearly convenient.
2) 5-10 years in a Chinese sector known for extensive corruption and visionware is a long time and a long reality from consistent dependable quality chip production.
3) None of this mentions industrial software development skills. Which is a problem for China and subject to a whole separate ring of tech sanctions.
4) Capital is at a premium in China and all of this requires massive investment over years.
I'm sure China could overcome this, but the list of other critical challenges is a long one. The real question is how long ( for I am certain China will) when several competing calls on national priority demand time, capital and human attention?
China will be giant north korea in 10 years. We will not be able to see chinese from china anymore like in 1980s. I remember when i first saw chinese in vancouver i was shouting : mom see, chinese. Just like if we see north korean on the street today...mom look, its north korean....

US and NATO cut weapon export to china, china developed the whole weapon sysytem by itself, EU excluded china from Galileo project and china developed its own Beidou navigation system, and now china can produce some old version of chips,

在中国，有许多不攻克技术难关，只想捐钱跑路的人
a lot of western optoelectronic companies have moved away from China after the mid 2000's because of IP infringement. Unlike complex high-density CPU's on silicon, optoelectronic tech involves a lot of III-V semiconductor epitaxy and bespoke fab processes - once those are know it's a lot easier to replicate and sell them for a significantly cheaper price.
In the UK a lot these industries were lost over the last couple decades. With regards to warfare we're constantly on the cusp of losing our steel industry. I guess paying profits to shareholders is a lot more important than state security.
Duh capitalism
Korean companies breach IP laws all the time but they receive less smacking because they are considered as allies
UK's best companies are lost to the US not China.
"State security" we can't even stop the boats.
