The Chip War With China Is Heating Up. Who’s Winning? | Growth Stories With IBD

America has led the world in designing and building the most advanced chips in the market. But that position is being challenged as big manufacturing hubs like Taiwan and Korea rise in prominence. And massive government spending efforts in China to bolster its chip industry also threaten to upend the U.S.’s competitive advantage in the sector.

Policymakers have responded with subsidies to boost domestic chipmakers and bring some components of production back to U.S. soil. But industry leaders say it will be a long road.

On this Growth Stories Spotlight, we speak to Chris Miller, economic historian and author of the book “Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology,” to get his thoughts on the state of the industry and the race to reassert America’s dominance over the global semiconductor sector.

US sanctions on china did 2 things : 1) jump start china semiconductor industry 2) US loses the biggest semiconductor market. Truly one stone and 2 birds

The Chinese people are grateful to this genius for giving China the opportunity to develop chips. I have recently read a lot of posts about the chip war, and I saw the condescending mentality of Westerners. It is so funny. Yes, China can only achieve 7NM in high-yield mass production at present, but within 5 years, China will not only catch up with the cutting-edge level, but also use domestically produced lithography machines to mass-produce chips with high yields, and the Chinese will definitely make chips as cheap as cabbage. In the end, you will see that the Chinese throw away EUV like diapers because the chips produced by this technology route consume too much power. When low-price high-performance chips hit the Western market like a flood, I hope this gentleman can come out and say a few words. When Westerners see that China is fighting against the entire West with its own strength in cutting-edge technology and has won, I hope you will not panic and blame China for the surplus production capacity.

The US was able to effectively diminish the Japanese chip industry decades ago, but the same strategy is failing against China.

Look at what happened to Intel. The game is over!

This guy was a academic on Russian history who has no knowledge in engineering. Just by writing a book, he turned himself into an "expert" on semiconductor. What a joke!

A few months ago, I read Qualcomm is getting into Harmony OS. If the US is winning, why should Qualcomm be bothered with Harmony OS?

usa treat each invention as something unique and price accordingly . china innovates and treat it as just commodity. Huge difference .

[bigeye]

I still can't comprehend the definition of war. Can it be called war when an adult attack a toddler who can't even fight back and just accept the hardship?

[lianseiongyap]

US sees chip dominance as a foreign policy tool, whereas China sees chip dominance as a money making proposition.

[HassanHosseini]

Don't try China never claimed "war" against any country. Always wanted cooperation grounded on win win principle

The information in this interview sounds too dated to be of any relevance.

Chris Miller : " Chinese company does not need to make money " Who told you that ?

[COLLAPSE.of.US.ECONOMY]

Judging by the success of Starliner, and China's ascension to the space program 🤔🤔🤔🤔 I wonder who will win the dominance of technological innovation?

[theindomitablespirit]

So these guys are literally saying that western companies should be somehow protected I dnt understand that....why shud western companies be protected....its a free market...why can they just compete and defeat chinese tech...😅😅😅

The British Parliament adopted a motion on Taiwan's international status on Thursday, making it the latest body to reject China's interpretation of United Nations Resolution 2758, which it has used to make territorial claims over Taiwan.

This guy does not understand that the top end chip only makes up 2% of all semiconductors. It is the maturing tech semiconductor that make up most of the leading semiconductor makers revenue. It is like a building you are building a tower. Chris here mention apple and india it is probably worth noting that apple iphone assebling contractor like foxconn is quietly recommision a new factory in zhenzhou to assemble the new iphone and pulling back from India. India has lost 43% of fdi in 2024.

[misterx]

Very well done, USA. The world needs cheap electronics with cheap Chinese chips. More competition is good for every sector of world's economy! 👍👍👍

[donhuang]

Both sides of the protagonists won their respective chip wars, considering that each side achieved a certain degree of successes in their endeavor against their opponent. The US succeeded in isolating the Chinese to obtain state of the art semi-conductor chips, related technologies and equipment from the leading global suppliers, thus seriously limiting China’s options. China, on the other hand, is forced to ramp-up its legacy chips production capacity, as well as pour in open-ended funds to conduct intensive R & D to develop their long neglected semi-conductor industry, given their previous preference to purchase from leading foreign suppliers. In due course, the US-led collective west and China would eventually develop very different kinds of semi-conductor chip architectures that would separate its use on a regional level.
