America First costs: US chip industry wants $ 37 billion

That should be really expensive. The industry is now demanding $ 37 billion to secure the US leadership in chip technology.

The U.S. semiconductor industry is demanding $ 37 billion in government grants for the construction of new manufacturing facilities and research centers. These figures come from a report from the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) available to the WSJ .

"The Trump administration is committed to ensuring that the US has a secure, vibrant, and internationally competitive high-tech ecosystem that is supported by domestic chip manufacturing," Ross said. A State Department spokeswoman reiterated this position, saying the state "works closely with Congress and industry to ensure that the future of the semiconductor industry remains in the United States."

Congress has proposed a $ 110 billion increase in technology spending, supported by a group of Democrats and also Republicans.

This increase in spending is expected to include $ 37 billion. You can clearly see the fear of China, as you can frankly admit:

"Advanced microelectronics is critical to future US technology leadership, and we cannot allow the CPC to control these critical supply chains."

When it comes to 5G, the USA and its manufacturers are still very much in trouble. Huawei from China has the greatest experience and patents worldwide.

And 5G in particular is seen as a decisive advantage in modern warfare. Therefore, the U.S. military must also have access to the best 5G systems, services and applications in the world. This is the only way to increase the effectiveness, resilience, speed and lethality (lethality) of the armed forces.

In the end, it does not amount to Huawei, which is said to be dangerous, but the United States wants to secure and further expand its military power in the 21st century. That China, with the largest 5G manufacturer, is a thorn in the side of the military is understandable, but leaves a bland aftertaste.
