The indefinite closure of 3M's semiconductor coolant plant in #Belgium could have a major impact on the global semiconductor industry, which Taiwan has a leading role in, market analysts said Sunday.

The 3M #plant in #Zwijndrecht was closed on March 8 due to tightened Flemish environmental regulations, according to a report in Korean magazine Business Korea on April 1.

If you didn't know how (PR) China's economic miracle of today came about, look no further than Taiwan. Who is China's biggest employer? Foxconn from Taiwan, with a workforce of 15 million on the mainland. And there's more examples, in a decades long history of value chains and the 台商.

This Podcast episode from Supchina has it all, starting with Japanese colonial times, a Chinese Civil War and cross-strait economic ties.

The Semiconductor Heist Of The Century | Arm China Has Gone Completely Rogue, Operating As An Independent Company With Inhouse IP/R&D - by Dylan Patel - SemiAnalysis

As part of the emphasis on the Chinese market, SoftBank succumbed to pressure and formed a joint venture. In the new joint venture, Arm Holdings, the SoftBank subsidiary sold a 51% stake of the company to a consortium of Chinese investors for paltry $775M. This venture has the exclusive right to license Arm’s IP within China. Within 2 years, the venture went rogue. Recently, they gave a presentation to the industry about rebranding, developing their own IP, and striking their own independently operated path.

This firm is called “安谋科技”, and is not part of Arm Holdings.

This is the tech heist of the century.

#Huawei Isn't Out Of #Chip #Business, Building Its Own Wafer Fab

Huawei will initially make optical #communication #chips and modules, as well as microcircuit designs, at the pant. But in the long run, the #company could also produce advanced #semiconductor chips including #smartphone SoCs at its new #HiSilicon #factory.

It was to be predicted that the Chinese would not be stopped by the U.S. #sanctions, but would rather accelerate their efforts to make themselves independent of U.S. #technologies. The #question that forces itself is: Is the U.S. #government simply acting stupidly or is it too arrogant?
