In this regard, the Nineteenth Party Congress clearly stated: 'To build a modern economic system, we must promote the formation of a new pattern of opening up. Openness brings progress, and closure is bound to lag behind. The door to China's opening will not be closed, it will only grow bigger and bigger.'
This has already set the tone for China’s future opening up to the outside world—China will not only further increase its opening to the outside world, but China’s industrial development and upgrading will be integrated into the global innovation system. As a pillar industry in the field of information technology 1. The development of China's semiconductor industry should embrace openness and globalization.
In fact, the development of China's semiconductor industry has not left the influence of globalization. Take South Korea’s Samsung project in Xi’an as an example. As early as 2012, Xi’an High-tech Zone successfully introduced Samsung’s electronic memory chip project, with a total investment in the first phase of the project. 10 billion U.S. dollars. The project set a record for the three 'biggest' - the largest investment in Samsung's overseas investment history; the largest foreign investment project in the electronic information industry since China's reform and opening up; and the largest foreign investment in high-tech projects in Shaanxi and even in the western region. .
The first phase of Samsung's electronic storage chip project was completed and put into production in May 2014, creating the 'Shaanxi Speed'. This project led more than 100 supporting companies to settle in Xi'an High-tech Zone, making Xi'an form a complete semiconductor industry chain.
Although Xi'an was an important semiconductor base as early as the 1960s, the earliest first integrated circuit in New China was also created by Xi'an Microelectronics. However, Xi'an’s semiconductor industry has been 'split and small' for a long time. Before Samsung came, the output value of integrated circuits in Shaanxi was more than 10 billion yuan. In 2016, the output value of the semiconductor industry in Shaanxi Province was more than 50 billion yuan. This means that in the five years, the scale of the semiconductor industry in Xi'an has quintupled.
In addition to the changes in economic indicators, more importantly, it brought about industrial upgrading and technological advancement. According to Ximeimei, deputy director of the Industrial Development Bureau of Xi'an Hi-tech Comprehensive Bonded Zone, the original Samsung factory in Xi'an, which used imported equipment across the board, has now introduced a Shanghai's semiconductor equipment company trial - this means that there are already local companies from China to participate in Samsung's industrial cooperation in Xi'an Semiconductor.
After 40 years of reform and opening up and introduction of foreign capital, with the optimization and upgrading of China’s “investment path,” investment strategies for foreign investment in China have also been continuously adjusted. From the initial single dependence on China’s land resources, labor costs have been developed to today, Increasingly localized investment strategies increasingly emphasize synergies with local industries.
A group of international IT giants represented by Samsung, one after another, set up R&D institutions in China. China is no longer a simple 'factory', but is more deeply involved in its global technological innovation system. Behind this change There are two main reasons: First, the Chinese market is increasingly important, and this important market needs to be more adapted to localized and innovative products; Second, China's progress in the field of technological innovation, so that it participates in the 'giants' globalization innovation Possible.
This kind of 'you have me and I have you' in the industry collaboration and technical cooperation, but also backing the development and progress of China's domestic industry. Also take the semiconductor industry as an example, foreign investment in the Chinese market, management model, technology The accumulation and output of processes and other areas, to a certain extent, also accelerated the transformation and upgrading of the domestic semiconductor industry.
The data show that in the past five years, China's integrated circuit industry has taken a solid step forward, and the technology has achieved many breakthroughs. All aspects of the industry chain have been comprehensively improved, and the industry maintains an average annual growth rate of 20%.
In this regard, Miao Miao, Minister of Industry and Information, publicly stated: 'Integrated circuits are a highly international industry, opening up, cooperation, and win-win is the only way for the development of the industry. China's integrated circuit industry has always upheld the 'open development' principle, from the capital, talent, Deepen international cooperation in various aspects such as technology and markets, promote open innovation and development in all aspects of the industrial chain, and strive to integrate into the global IC industry ecosystem.
Standing at the height of promoting the rise of China's semiconductor industry, we should unite global resources with a more open mind. On March 28, Samsung (China) Semiconductor Co., Ltd.'s second phase of the storage chip project broke ground in Xi'an, reflecting the new era's Xi'an efficiency'. For the opening of China's semiconductor industry, it will open a new page.
