The United States is satisfied: more than 150 chip manufacturers have submitted detailed data “voluntarily”

As we all know, the matter of chip companies handing over data to the United States, which has been making a lot of noise since September, seems to have come to an end on the 18th of last month, because TSMC, Samsung and Micron finally “voluntarily” handed over the data to the United States.
However, after receiving the data, the United States did not take any further action for the time being, nor did it say whose data was unqualified or whose data was qualified, nor did it say how to solve the problem of chip shortage.

Recently, however, the US Secretary of Commerce, Raymond, made a final statement. She said that more than 150 companies from multiple regions had submitted information “voluntarily”, including many Asian companies, and they were satisfied with the result.
He also said that it would take them several weeks to publish the evaluation report for these data. As for how to solve the problem of chip shortage after the evaluation report was released, he didn’t say specifically.

In fact, as for how Apple can solve the problem of chip shortage, the media believes that it is actually to build its own wafer factory in the United States after mastering the technology, inventory, customer and other data of these manufacturers, so as to improve the wafer production capacity, and then solve the problem.
For example, on November 29, when Raymond visited Michigan, he called on Congress to quickly approve $52 billion for the development of the U.S. semiconductor manufacturing industry. The intention was already obvious.

Of course, are these enterprises really “voluntary”? This is the art of language. After all, if these enterprises do not “voluntarily” submit, the United States will prepare a lot of “big gifts”. They dare not refuse to do so.
However, it is said that some enterprises still have a discount. For example, TSMC said that it did not hand in the customer’s sensitive information and did not provide confidential data. They would not do anything harmful to shareholders and customers.
Samsung also said that it did not hand in the inventory and customer information, which is a trade secret. At the same time, Samsung also marked all the information as “confidential”, hoping not to disclose it.
Next, let’s see what further action will be taken after the United States has sorted out the data of more than 150 enterprises. Maybe we should make up the data again, and maybe we should find out the problem and start to solve it?
