Chapter 292 Take action
It is almost impossible for a unified nation-state to be parasitized by foreign capital, and the mechanism of the University of Tokyo determines that capital cannot gain a dominant position, let alone foreign capital.

India and the University of the East are almost completely opposite in all these key factors, which also enables India to obtain full support from Western countries led by America.

There are many knowledgeable people in the East University who can see that India may challenge its position in the future. As the first operator in the formation of the world's geopolitical structure in the past, it is impossible for the West University to fail to see this.

It is entirely possible that the success of Eastern University can be replicated in India, but Western University is not worried about this at all. The reason behind this is that after the decline of Western University, India can become the next biggest target of capital parasitism.

If the situation is turbulent enough, it would not be impossible to have another replacement of Indians for whites.

The so-called advantages of Indians on the surface are nothing but illusions created by the media to deceive individuals.

In conjunction with this is the endless entertainment of India at the global public opinion level. If the image of the University of Tokyo is evil and powerful, then India is chaos, naturally linking chaos and India together.

It gives the outside world a feeling that no matter what happens in India, it is not surprising.

If horrific incidents happened in other countries, we would dig deeper into the causes and consequences and find a logical chain.

If the news was from India, no one would do this, as if they were deliberately trying to deepen your impression of India's chaos. Why? To make you ignore the fundamental changes that have taken place in this land. If one day European and American capital really needs India, then the process of Indian elites being replaced by political elites from Western countries will be silent.

I would like to add one more thing here. It is very likely that there was election fraud in a certain South American country, but it is also true that Western University was involved. The main leader of the opposition, Machado, is a woman who studied political science in Washington, whose family and children all live abroad. Her main demands include demanding the privatization of all state-owned oil companies.

It doesn't take much thinking to know what will happen when she comes to power.

When a more horrific incident happens in India one day, the outside world will not think about the causes and consequences, but will only subconsciously want to be implanted with the idea: Ah, it turns out to be India, this is so normal, this place is so magical.

As for why, who is behind it, and who is the beneficiary behind it, no one tells you and you don't care.

What is even more interesting is that if you watch English media for a long time, you will find that the Indian caste system is a system that should exist in feudal society, but the criticism of the caste system in the English media is minimal and hard to find.

Whether it is CNN and Fox in America or The Times and BBC in England, there is no criticism of India's caste system.

From a conspiracy theory perspective, they are keen to see this kind of hierarchy on display. Such a hierarchy that is deeply rooted in people's hearts will be beneficial to future rule.

After listening to this, Tominaga felt that the world seemed to be clearer, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that a new veil was covering it.

"So what Neon needs to do now is to stand on the front line against East University in the economic field? Help West University win as much as possible?"

“No, what we need to do is be patient and wait for the opportunity to come.

In the current international system, Japan is an absolute beneficiary. Although we have experienced the bursting of the bubble era and stagnation of economic development, we are still a beneficiary of this system.

Neon is still one of the developed economies with a population of 10 billion.

There is no way we can side with the University of Tokyo, even though it seems that the University of Tokyo has a good chance of winning.

Tokyo itself has a population of 14 billion. Considering the population of ASEAN and the historical grievances between Japan and Tokyo, we can only stand on the side of America."

This is very easy to understand. Japan itself is the beneficiary. If you surrender to the University of Tokyo, even if the University of Tokyo wins in the end, you may not get better treatment than now, and now you will be hunted down by the University of Tokyo.

In the whole of Asia, even if all countries turned to the University of Tokyo, Japan would never turn to the University of Tokyo.

Neither China sent any troops to fight during the Goryeo War nor the Baiyue War. It was Neon laws that saved them and allowed them to fully enjoy the benefits.

Goryeo participated in both wars, as a belligerent in the former and as a mercenary in the latter. The dividends it received from participating in both wars, combined, were less than one-third of what Neon received as a logistics base.

The past determines the present, and the dividends of the past have led to Japan not wanting to get involved at all.

Even if Ampere, who wanted to gamble on the country's destiny, was here, he would not do so at this time.

This is also the unanimous idea of ​​Neon’s current senior executives, play dead and wait for the opportunity.

What a good time! When the world's top capital intends to make India its next parasite, the huge demand for infrastructure will be the best opportunity for Japan's economy to take off.

All they need to do is wait for the opportunity to come.

This will be a bigger piece of cake than the post-war dividends of the Goryeo War.

As for when this time point will arrive, it is difficult to have a landmark event. It will be a subtle change that will last for decades.

Xida continued to decline, and the whale fall caused everyone to have enough to eat, but Xida's whale fall was used as a condition in exchange for the full cooperation of its core allies.

For ordinary people, these macro-level impacts are also slow, profound and long-term. They will not be reflected immediately, but will affect an individual's life.

However, individuals in the center of the vortex were affected almost immediately.

After Tominaga returned to Tokyo from Shenhai, he felt uncomfortable almost instantly.

Because it was too empty, my days in Shenhai were very fulfilling. There was fulfilling work every day, and the sense of accomplishment brought by the work could fully offset the discomfort of being away from home.

But now there is no work at all. In the field of topological semimetals, if Chinese companies leave Nikon, they still have alternative options, such as Shenhai Microelectronics.

They can continue to make use of Nikon's equipment and technological heritage.

Without the basic raw materials from the University of Tokyo, Nikon's products would be completely useless.

Tominaga's work tasks went from being fulfilling to being empty, and he only needed to change his environment. "Nikon has terminated its cooperation with Chinese companies and is completely withdrawing from China's photolithography equipment."

"Zeiss's lens systems used in lithography are banned from export"

"Companies including Sumitomo Chemical and Dow Chemical, the only two manufacturers, announced that they would stop exporting new photoresists to Dongda."

If the first two are just bad news, the last one is fatal news.

Whether it is Nikon or Zeiss, Dongda's semiconductor industry chain still has existing equipment, at least there is no problem supporting current production.

Only for the latter, the ban on export of new photoresists will cause the current topological semimetal production line to quickly come to a standstill.

"Xiaomi announced that it will suspend the development and production of Surge chips. It is reported that the Xiaomi flagship phone that was originally scheduled to be equipped with the self-developed Surge chip for the first time this year will be shelved, and Xiaomi is renegotiating with Qualcomm."

From the outside, China's semiconductor industry went from thriving to half-dead overnight.

The colonists are crazy about team building on Weibo:
"Didn't they say semiconductors were already far ahead? How come they are as fragile as paper?"

"A few companies can hold you back, and you can still call this independent research and development? Without Nikon, topological semimetals would be useless."

"The individual deification movement has caused the little pinks to ignore the laws of the market. Do they really think that China's semiconductor industry can overtake others?"

"It feels quite funny. The American pretended to be dead as soon as he made a move. No, he really died this time."

Similar remarks can be seen everywhere. They are just as happy as if the Tokyo University swimming team's performance was not as good as expected, and act as if they had won the gold medal.

"Of course, these will cause us short-term difficulties, but in the long run, these difficulties can be overcome."

"The biggest problem is photoresist, because unlike the photoresist of traditional chips, the photoresist needed for topological semimetals is a brand-new material, and the relevant technology of this material is in the hands of Sumitomo and Dow Chemical.

Domestic photoresist companies have not yet achieved a breakthrough in this new material. After all, our accumulation is still insufficient. Sumitomo Chemical and Dow Chemical have accumulated ten years of experience in the field of quantum material photoresist, while we are only at the starting stage. "

"It will have a certain impact on our consumer electronics business and new energy vehicle business, but the impact is not significant. After all, we have other plans. We will consider cooperating with companies like Qualcomm, Intel, and Nvidia to ensure normal shipments."

"This year's Mate 90 will still be released as usual, but the production is limited. It should be difficult to buy a Mate 90 with a Kirin chip."

When Yu Dazui attended the Yanjing Auto Show, the focus of reporters' interviews was not on the cars, but on the specific impact of the sudden blockade of the semiconductor industry chain on them, and whether China was prepared.

Yu Dazui’s remarks in public further worsened the situation and the overall pessimistic mood rose rapidly.

Considering that the University of Tokyo had just conducted a pilot program for a social welfare fund system in Chongqing not long ago, if the semiconductor industry were to shrink significantly, it would likely affect the fiscal situation and, in turn, affect the future promotion of the social welfare fund system throughout China.

It is even possible that the promotion will not be carried out at all.

"America is too mean. They didn't block you at the beginning, but after you invested resources, they used this method to block you, making all your previous investment invalid."

"Can we card them?"

"My only concern is whether this will lead to an increase in chip prices."

"We have always been a major importer of chips. Before the emergence of topological semimetals, the total amount of chip imports exceeded 3000 billion U.S. dollars. After the emergence of topological semimetals, the amount has been reduced by 500 billion U.S. dollars each year in recent years, and our dependence on foreign imports is rapidly decreasing.

The reason why the reduction is so slow is that many manufacturers have inertia in their dependence on Qualcomm, Intel, and Nvidia, and mobile phone manufacturers will not use Huawei's Kirin chips, so they all choose to independently develop and develop their own topological semi-metal chips.

This decline is likely to increase significantly next year, reducing the total amount of imported chips to less than US$1000 billion at one time.

I'm still wondering why Xida hasn't made a move yet. This is not their style.

As expected, they chose to take action at this critical time point.

Xiaomi, OPPO, VIVO and Honor, the four leading domestic companies, started developing their own chips two years ago, and all their previous investments in the chip field have gone down the drain.

All the R&D investments made by new energy vehicle companies such as NIO, Xiaopeng and Li Auto around topological semimetal chips have gone down the drain, which can be said to be a fatal blow.

The adverse effects caused by this are far more than just these. For a long time in the future, even if a technological breakthrough is achieved, Chinese companies will lack the confidence to invest in chip research and development, because you will ultimately need to rely on foreign technology, and you may lose an inconspicuous link in the chain at any time, causing the entire chain to collapse.

I can only say that Xida is too bad. They didn’t block you earlier or later, but they blocked you at this time when Chinese companies are intensively launching new products this year. "

Not only that, it takes a long process for a chip to go from design to production and then to be sold to consumers through products.

This year is just the first year of intensive sales of Chinese chips. Not only have the chips of major manufacturers completed tape-out, but many companies have also completed early mass production.

The result tells you that your production capacity is limited and you can only produce half of the mass production.

Fortunately, everyone is a mature company, and they sell domestic and foreign chips simultaneously, so they will not be stuck at once.

But it still hurts because all your previous investments have gone down the drain.

“According to the latest news, the Xiaomi 1 equipped with the Surge S18 chip will be released as usual, but the production is limited, and it is expected to be only 50 units. The others will be equipped with Qualcomm chips as usual.

I feel like this will be the last generation of Surge chips, and it will die as soon as it is born. Mi fans who want to collect it should be prepared to buy it. "
