After successfully obtaining confidential information from major contract manufacturers such as TSMC and Samsung, the US is now planning to "squeeze" some countries with semiconductor industrial chains.
The United States and Malaysia announced on November 18, local time, that the two countries intend to cooperate in the semiconductor supply chain. The two countries plan to strengthen interaction in the transparency, security and flexibility of the semiconductor and manufacturing supply chain. A preliminary memorandum of cooperation is expected to be signed in early 2022, Chinanea.com reported.
Of course, Malaysia chose to "bow down" to the United States, but also had to do. The country's semiconductor industry is facing widespread doubts about its economic growth as its economy is ravaged by the pandemic.
Malaysia posted a mere 335.8 billion ringgit in the third quarter of this year (June-September), a 4.5% year-on-year contraction and the worst performance since the second quarter of 2020, due to the economic lockdown measures that began on June 1. As a major global producer of semiconductors, Malaysia has a chip assembly supply chain worth more than us $20 billion (about 127.7 billion yuan) and a global semiconductor industry share of more than 13%.
