Welcome to VOC - Vision of China,In today’s episode, we explore the intriguing topic of the United States granting South Korea permission to manufacture chips in China, while China’s reliance on South Korea diminishes. South Korea, known for its significant role in the global semiconductor industry with giants like Samsung and SK Hynix, has faced unprecedented challenges due to shifting U.S. policies and relations. The U.S. government’s pressure to maintain technological supremacy has led to restrictions on chip exports to China, impacting South Korean chip manufacturers and causing significant losses.
