In addition to Huawei facing supply cuts in chip manufacturing, a series of chain reactions brought about by the adjustment of the United States' global chip export policy are gradually emerging in Japan. The first is one of Japan's chip production giants. Toshiba Semiconductor suddenly announced its complete withdrawal from the LSI chip business recently!

The so-called LSI chip business is actually a large-scale integrated circuit in the chip field, which integrates 100 gate circuits, thousands of transistors, resistors and many other components on a single chip, and A set of integrated circuits that integrate these components through integrated wiring is widely used in electronic watches, calculators, and microcomputers.

For Toshiba, the LSI chips it produces mainly provide image recognition CPUs for the automobile giant Toyota. However, according to foreign media reports, the reason for cutting off the LSI chip business this time is that Toshiba hopes to increase its own net profits. However, this approach may be counterproductive. The axing of Toshiba's LSI department business will cause Toshiba to lose 11.8 billion yen (equivalent to RMB 762 million).

Therefore, Toshiba emphasized at the end that its newly built business will not be affected by US policy adjustments. It is not difficult to see that it axed its LSI chip business because of the impact of US policy adjustments on global chips, and that it will not be affected by US policy adjustments. Not hoping to improve its net profit margin.

In addition to Toshiba, another Japanese chip manufacturer, Kioxia, also announced on Monday that it had canceled its US$3.2 billion IPO plan originally scheduled for October 6. Perhaps the world has seen American technology. Bullying, that’s why they gradually began to separate themselves from American technology, lest they be the next to be sanctioned by the United States!

Japan’s Toshiba is actually very smart in doing this. Japan does not want to give up the entire Chinese market because of the use of an American screw. At the same time, Japan does not want to spend huge sums of money to lay the groundwork for its future technology. Now with the The Chinese Academy of Sciences has positioned its next scientific research list in the field of chips. The localization process of Chinese chips will be further accelerated. When we break through the bottleneck, the global chip industry will usher in a big change!
