"Mr. Clin, of course we know that diplomacy is a very cautious matter.x.c≈om In fact, if we were not facing a very dangerous situation, we would not have so urgently hoped that the State Council would intervene."

"Gentlemen," Klin frowned and said seriously: "We are discussing a Chinese company, not Infineon or STMicroelectronic."

Klin still has some understanding of the world's semiconductor companies. As far as he knows, Infineon and STMicroelectronics are the two largest wafer fabs in Europe, and their scale should be only after Intel and TI.

No matter how you look at it, the biggest enemy of the United States should be these two companies, not a Chinese company that produces routers.

"In fact, Infineon or Technique is not a problem at all." Nehru from TI, his erect chest looked like a balloon full of arrogance.

"Infineon is a separate semiconductor department of Siemens, mainly producing embedded chips and memory chips. They may still have some advantages at the moment, but I am bluntly obsessed that Infineon's good days may not be long. Fengtian Machine Tool Group, the largest machine tool company in China, has completed the design of a full series of CNC machine tool, and even has five-axis machining center technology," he said.

"According to our TI company's investigation, of course, this news is also a great threat to us. Once Fengtian Machine Tool Group releases their production capacity, it will not be a problem to meet 30% of the world's mid-to-low-end CNC machine tool market throughout the year. This is what TI's partner mag expects them in 2001 and 2002. As for what extent the Chinese can do in one or two years, it is still unknown."

"The businesses of Infineon and STMicroelectronics have considerable overlap. The reason why they can still have a good market share in the market in systems on-chip, embedded chips, analog circuit chips, discrete devices and memory is just because China's production capacity is not enough to meet the demand. Once they make every effort to explode production capacity, they will definitely gain a huge advantage in cost."

"Not to mention anything else. Once the Panhan Group expands its production capacity, the GSM decoding baseband chips and RF transmitting chips used by Ericsson and Nokia will definitely choose their products."

"The Huajing Fab, which is controlled by Fanhan Group, is recently phased out a batch of production lines. Although it is equipment with 0.35 micron and 0.5 micron processes, it is enough to produce discrete devices and memory."

Nehru spread his hands, sighed, and looked at Klin honestly and said, "Whether it is Infineon, STMicroelectronics or our TI, to be honest, the pressure is very high now."

"Where can Chinese have such a large production capacity?" Klin was startled and shook his head and said in disbelief: "Remember right. You ti and Infineon, STMicroelectronics are the top five chip manufacturers in the world, right? What do you mean is that a Chinese company has more productivity than you three?"

Nehru and Schultz, Kevin looked at each other and smiled bitterly, nodding: "Mr. Clin may not know much. It is of course difficult for other chip manufacturers to increase production, but this is not difficult for Panhan Group to do."

"Not to mention that Fanhan Optical Manufacturing Company is currently the world's most advanced lithography machine manufacturer, and the latest news we have received shows that Chen Aihua, the former chief designer of Applied Materials, has now formed a company that produces equipment such as CVD and etching with the support of Fanhan Group."

"With these two companies in hand, it's only a matter of time and determination to expand how many production lines Fanhan Group wants to expand."

As if he was afraid that Clin didn't know how important things were, Nehru had just finished speaking. Schultz from Intel also intervened.

"The new wafer factory that Fanhan Group has built in Bohai Province is reported to be using the 130nm process, which is the same level as the production line under construction by our Intel! Not to mention that Fanhan Optics is always an advanced generation in the field of lithography machines than the Netherlands Asmay. If they make any breakthrough in the immersion liquid technology of the next generation of immersive lithography machines, they can be improved to the 90nm process at any time!"

"The integrated circuit technology that the United States is proud of is gradually lagging behind China!"

Klin had to pay attention to this when he heard this. If it was just a TI or a company in Motorola or Intel, he could be more reserved.

But think about it if the United States has a comprehensive defeat in the chip field - it is actually impossible. Chip manufacturing technology and IC design technology are equally important, and China still has a big gap in this regard.

However, representatives of the three companies would not tell Clin about this situation, and Clin's knowledge was not enough to let him know the specific situation behind it.

In his opinion, this is the most serious threat to the US economy. In the deindustrialized American society, the only manufacturing industry that can be put on the table is the electronics industry.

Neither he nor the poor Bush could accept the great decline in the US economy as soon as he took office. Even if it was just the anger of the consortium behind these electronics companies, they could burn them to ashes. It was a pity that this should be handled by the US Secretary of State in person.

"I see!"

Klin nodded vigorously, stood up and said, "A Chinese company is targeting the United States so openly and putting this targeting into action. This is a provocation to the United States!"

"I will immediately report to China and ask them to investigate the Panhan Group to see if their products infringe on the patented technology of our American companies."

Kevin took the lead in standing up, Nehru and Schultz applauded with satisfaction and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Clint, with you coming forward, I believe that the Chinese will carefully consider facing the anger of the United States."

"Yes, Mr. Clin represents the United States. We must let the Chinese know who has the final say in this world."

"Anyway, thanks to Mr. Clin for everything he did for us."

“Yes, thank you very much.”

Clin smiled slightly reservedly and waved his hand: "Serving American companies is my honor as the Secretary of State."

There was a twelve-hour time difference between the United States and China. The earth turned around and the bright moon in Washington was hanging into the night. The sun in the imperial capital also rose slowly, which was the most energetic time.

The diplomatic vehicle with the American flag slowly stopped in front of the parking lot in front of the building 2, Chaoyangmen South Street.

Ambassador Joseph of the United States stood out from the car, tidied up his clothes, and walked towards the office building with his head held high.

In order to show importance, Clin even directly sent a formal note, serving Joseph, the Ambassador to China. Generally speaking, official documents of this level must be treated only by changing the national leaders and negotiating important treaties.

Before taking office as the US ambassador to China, Joseph was a dignified admiral, principal of the Naval Officer School, and a senior official of the Sixth Fleet commander. The person who came to deliver the official notes, of course, alarmed many people.

Wang Guozhong stood behind the Changjiang City, watching the US Ambassador Joseph climbing up the stairs.

Of course, with his identity, he can only act as a human background board in foreign affairs activities at this level. But this does not mean that he has no thoughts in his heart.

The submission of the official note by the ambassador to China is a very serious diplomatic incident. The content of the comparison meeting must be notified to the North American Department in advance so that the leaders can have sufficient time to prepare.

If you want to launch a sudden attack on such a thing, it would be a very impolite act. Sino-US relations are not so nervous at this moment.

Wang Guozhong probably knew what the official document in Joseph would have written. But he was a little puzzled. Why did Americans take a Chinese company so seriously?

Having an objection to Chinese public opinion and informing the North American Department of Protest is a normal business for the embassy. The embassy itself is a channel for communication between the two countries, and responding to some social situations is the position.

But because of a Chinese company's business operation, a formal note was issued by the US Secretary of State. It was like a village chicken-raising professional said that my chickens would never be sold to neighboring provinces, and instigated a group of chicken-raising professionals to form an alliance.

As a result, because of this, the governor of the neighboring province sent someone to protest himself? Isn’t this a big deal?

Wang Guozhong had a lot of thoughts in his head. What was the purpose of? How could Americans react so much?

After some diplomatic etiquette, he watched Ambassador Joseph enter the office building accompanied by his leader. Wang Guozhong was finally liberated from the fate of human flesh.

He quietly followed Jiang Cheng behind the officer, turned back to the North American Office. When Jiang Cheng walked back to his office, he went up and knocked on the door, then opened the door and walked in.

"Director, what does the American mean? Also, what is the attitude of the Ministry toward this note? You have to make an idea!" Wang Guozhong stomped his feet anxiously and lamented: "Why did Zhou Shuo of Fanhan Group threaten to adjust the North American Department from above, so we will just wait for death?"

"Don't think about this matter. Should our North American department adjust its own leaders to consider. Also, don't have any ideas about the Panhan Group. Let me give you a brief explanation, let alone the diplomatic notes of the Secretary of State. Even if the US Secretary of State comes in person, we will not be able to let go of this matter now. Unlike the previous diplomatic frictions, it involves an industrial market of hundreds of billions, and it is impossible to regress!"

"Not going back!"
