The U.S.-Japan summit has put the lead in advanced semiconductors into operation, and South Korea has reached an agreement between the leaders of the United States and cooperation to promote semiconductor supply chains, and is showing a strategy of delaying the joining of Chip 4.
People's Power Representative Kwon Seong-dong said, "We will focus on building infrastructure, reforming regulations, and securing talent," at the party government council to strengthen semiconductor competitiveness on the 1st. ' said strategy.
In May, President Yoon Seok-yeol announced “semiconductor specialist exchanges” and “investment promotion between the two countries” in the “semiconductor supply chain promotion agreement” in the joint statement between President Biden and President Biden in May.
As a follow-up measure to the summit, the Yun regime announced in July a policy of 340 trillion won investment over five years and a policy to nurture more than 150,000 semiconductor manpower over 10 years as a 'semiconductor industry competitiveness strengthening measure'.
The US-Korea summit in May only agreed to stabilize the semiconductor supply chain, and the US-Japan summit was led by advanced semiconductors and the joint task force for next-generation semiconductor development led to a clear gap.
In a joint statement and action plan in Washington (29th of last month), the US and Japanese governments announced “agreement on R&D aimed at mass production of next-generation semiconductors” and “energy security cooperation such as securing LNG”.
A follow-up measure for the summit between the United States and Japan is the launch of a new high-level “2+2 economic dialogue,” in which the foreign and commerce ministers of the two countries participate in the operation of a system to strengthen security and economic cooperation against China and Russia.
In the 'Agreement on the Establishment of the Joint Research Center for Next-Generation Semiconductor Development', the joint statement stated, “Innovative methods such as the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) to promote regional development and prosperity, strengthen supply chain flexibility in strategic sectors such as semiconductors and batteries, and joint research for technological development. and project,” reported the Voice of America (VOA).
Yomiuri said, “A new R&D base in Japan related to the development of next-generation semiconductors will be established with the participation of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, RIKEN, and the University of Tokyo. The goal is to promote mass production by 2025.”
Yomiuri continued, “Since advanced technologies such as semiconductors also affect weapon performance, technological protection is also adjusted. We will prepare for cyber attacks pointed out by China, Russia and other countries.
In May, the Yun Seok-yeol government made a joint statement between the ROK and the US in a joint statement <Agreement to strengthen public-private cooperation to promote the protection of core and emerging technologies, including advanced semiconductors, eco-friendly electric vehicle batteries, artificial intelligence, quantum technology, biotechnology, bio-manufacturing, and autonomous robots> <between experts Reaffirming active support for people-to-people exchanges> <Agreement on cooperation to promote partnerships in key and emerging technologies between the two countries through investment promotion and R&D cooperation> was stipulated.
The joint statement continued, “Agreement to strengthen public-private cooperation to protect and promote key and emerging technologies, including advanced semiconductors, eco-friendly electric vehicle batteries, artificial intelligence, quantum technology, biotechnology, bio-manufacturing, and autonomous robots” and “semiconductors, batteries, and key minerals The agreement to establish a regular ministerial level industrial dialogue to discuss the promotion of a resilient supply chain for items” was specified.
On the 27th of last month, SK Chairman Chey Tae-won announced an investment of 22 billion dollars in the United States through a video call with President Biden in the United States.
The White House said, "The SK Group's announcement is another proof that the administration's efforts to build a more resilient and safe supply chain by attracting investment in American companies and workers and foreign investment to create high-income jobs and to dominate the world in future technologies have been successful," the White House said. .
Regarding Chip 4, Chairman Choi said, “I think the government or other places will handle this issue well. We had a discussion there, so I think that we have no choice but to make a choice in the most advantageous way for us.”
