The minute US gets the technology for its <= 5nm foundries Taiwan will be of no further use to the US.

I really cannot see any way out for Taiwan except to join mainland. The sooner, the better. Taiwanese should remember they share the same blood, the same language, the same culture and same aspirations as mainland China. It is such an incredible string of treasons and abandonment of allies throughout American history that I can't believe people still trust them somehow.

集微网消息，7月27日，长江基金管理公司党委书记、董事长陈忠率队调研湖北九同方微电子有限公司、武汉梦芯科技有限公司。

九同方万波董事长对陈忠一行表示欢迎，介绍了射频EDA的产业链地位、行业特点、竞争格局、战略意义及公司发展情况。EDA是芯片之母，是IC设计最上游、最高端的产业。射频EDA位于EDA塔尖，涉及数学、物理、IC设计等多个学科，国内人才极为稀缺。我国95%的EDA市场被Synopsys、Cadence 和西门子旗下的 Mentor Graphics 占据。

长江产业基金消息显示，万波表示，九同方于2011年在武汉成立，聚焦射频EDA领域，服务电、磁、声、光、电等综合仿真领域。公司携手华为海思于近期实现了eWave三维电磁仿真工具的“登峰”。该产品支持5nm、7nm、14nm、16nm工艺，精度指标在台积电实测验证，仿真速度较同期工具快5倍，成为国内首款可替代 Cadence eMX的产品。

万波还提到，美国科技打压政策正好给了我国EDA千载难逢的机遇，EDA不依赖国外设备，投资不大，风险也不大，只要有人、有客户，就一定能做出来，是未来5-10年最有可能打造为我国优势产业的领域。长江基金参与投资的润科基金、湖北融合发展基金拟于近期完成对该项目的投资交割工作。（校对/图图）


According to news from the Yangtze River Industry Fund, Wan Bo said that Jiutongfang was established in Wuhan in 2011, focusing on the field of radio frequency EDA, serving integrated simulation fields such as electricity, magnetism, sound, light, and electricity. The company and Huawei HiSilicon recently realized the "peak" of the eWave 3D electromagnetic simulation tool. The product supports 5nm, 7nm, 14nm, and 16nm processes. The accuracy indicators are tested and verified by TSMC, and the simulation speed is 5 times faster than the same period tools. It becomes the first domestic product that can replace Cadence eMX.

Wan Bo also mentioned that the US policy of suppressing science and technology has just given my country’s EDA a golden opportunity. EDA does not rely on foreign equipment, the investment is not large, and the risk is not large. As long as there are people and customers, they will definitely be able to make it. It is the future 5- In 10 years, it is most likely to be the field of my country's advantageous industry. Runke Fund and Hubei Fusion Development Fund, which are invested by Changjiang Fund, intend to complete the investment and settlement of the project in the near future. (Proofreading/Pictures)

There isn't much that I understood from the technical aspect, butm I know it is great news. I think next step should be to have all Chinese universities to drop using American EDA and start using the Chinese one.
One great step towards self sufficiency.

The Taiwan situation will unfold much quicker than expected, much like in the Afghanistan situation.

TSMC’s U.S. Chip Plant Might Face Delays Due To Power Struggle​

The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC) primary supplier for cleanroom equipment for the company's planned facility in the United States is expected to undergo a serious management shakeup, reports . TSMC had partnered up with Jiangxi Hantang System Integration Co., its longtime cleanroom equipment supplier, to equip the new fab planned to be completed in the American state of Arizona. The shifts in management at Hantang might come if a bid to replace the company's current management by its largest shareholders comes to fruition, according to the UDN.

Interesting company. Chinese EDA companies are well established in the area of analog design, great companies like huada empyrean, but still weak in the area of digital design which is what Huawei needs the most now, but it is comforting to know that digital design tools are on the roadmap of this company.

Taiwan issue isn't just about technology. The essence of the ongoing tech war between the US and China isn't about technology itself either. People here often only look at the technology and economy aspect. It's all about geopolitics - who controls what and who rules. Technology is just a tool to rule and control. Look at Taliban. They don't have any technology, that doesn't make them surrender to the US. On the contrary, they fight the US to the end even with primitive weapons. Taiwan is militarily better equipped than Taliban. They have rockets and missiles to attack Chinese mainland. They have radars to monitor activities in Mainland. Taiwan island is an ideal military outpost for the US military, right in front of China. That alone is full of use for the US.

Don't wishfully think that Taiwan (or anyone else) will somehow surrender to China just because China is technologically/economically superior to them. Technology or economy on its own doesn't do anything. This is the physical world. The only thing that you can change a thing with is physical force. No matter how advanced technology you have, the one with physical control decides whether that technology is allowed or gets seized. The only rule is physical rule. You can't rule with anything other than physical force. Technology and economy aren't power. Power is something with which you can forcedly do. You can't force anyone with technology or economy. On the contrary, your technology and money can be forcedly blocked or seized. Then you actually need use your physical force to enforce your rule. There is no unification with Taiwan until China uses its military to occupy Taiwan.

Impossible. TSMC cannot function without equipments and orders from foreign countries. China would get some buildings with clean rooms and equipments which is likely locked out, if at all it magically got Taiwan.

This article is very bad and is just a propaganda against secessionist forces. US is dropping Afghanistan partly because Taiwan ( and China) are the bigger priorities. If anything, more US led escalations will happen around SCS and Taiwan.

That's why China will need to act on Taiwan and South China Sea before too late. The longer time China waits, the more the US will fortify Taiwan and South China Sea, then it will become too costly for China to engage in military conflicts and the window of opportunity will close. It's also quite possible as many US puppets as possible will send their warships to South China Sea, then China will have to deal with too many countries. And stop wishful thinking that China's economic/technological success or Taiwan's economic downhill will make Taiwan surrender to China.

No, man, the opposite of this. It's not necessarily that China's economic success will integrate the ROC naturally but that China's increasing development continuously tilts the military balance as well the the economic balance towards China. The more time goes by, so far, the better China's chances. If this pattern reverses, then China needs to hurry up. So far, the US is trying to fortify the area but China is actually making leaps and bounds in its regional military power. America dragging its puppets into the conflict is an act of dire desperation; it used to be a superpower that stands alone. Now it needs 15 different allies and tells them that if they don't act, China will take the future. And what do they do? The French go and detail that Chinese naval power is far greater in both quantity and quality than they could have imagined; they don't want any of that. The UK specifically says they will not go near China's islands. The Germans request a port call in Shanghai for good will, which, I don't think was approved. This shows American power dying and it's playing its last cards which get more and more useless as the game goes on. Time is on China's side.
