【The United States and the European Union will strengthen cooperation in the traditional semiconductor field】

Recently, the United States and the European Union held a Trade and Technology Council meeting (TTC) and issued a joint statement. The two sides will strengthen cooperation in the traditional semiconductor field (mainly mature process chips) and will take "next steps". Industry insiders believe that this will not cause much impact or the impact will be limited, but they need to pay attention to the shift in U.S. control towards China. Some people worry that it will accelerate the trend of outsourcing in the semiconductor industry. The joint statement by the TTC this time did not mention China, but it has raised concerns about the joint efforts of the United States and Europe to upgrade control over domestically produced mature process semiconductors.
