U.S. President Biden, who launched Asia, said that the United States leads semiconductor research and development and design, but inadequate production facilities must establish "semiconductor partnerships" with South Korea with global semiconductor supply capabilities.
South Korean President Yin Xiyue hopes that the relationship between South Korea and the United States can be enhanced to the Economic Security Alliance. This alliance must be based on the cooperation between cutting -edge technology and supply chain.
U.S. President Biden arrived in South Korea yesterday afternoon and opened a three -day official visit.After getting off the plane, Biden then went to the semiconductor factory of Samsung Electronics in Pyeongze, Gyeonggi -do, highlighting the extension of the military alliances of the two countries to the Economic Alliance and further expanding the intention of the Science and Technology Alliance.
Yin Xiyue said in his speech that semiconductor is a national security assets related to South Korea. In the future, the government will increase investment and provide necessary support."I hope President Biden also pays great attention to the investment in South Korea's investment in cutting -edge materials, equipment, and design companies ... Based on advanced technology and supply chain cooperation, I seek to improve the relationship between the United States and South Korea into an economic -security alliance."
Semiconductor is the core components of all cutting -edge industries such as driverless cars, artificial intelligence and robots, and a key element for determining the competitiveness of technology in the future.

Analysis: The first stop visiting the semiconductor factory in the United States wants to contain China in the field of technology
A spokesman said that the new economic security dialogue mechanism means that South Korea and the United States will have a closer policy coordination, and jointly respond to cutting -edge technical cooperation and supply chain construction including semiconductors, secondary batteries, artificial intelligence and other cutting -edge technical cooperation and supply chain construction.Core issue of "Technology Alliance".
Relevant sources in the South Korean President's Office revealed that visiting South Korea's first stop to visit the semiconductor factory is the request made by Biden. It can be seen that the United States believes that semiconductors are the most important fields in the South Korean and American Technology Alliance.
South Korea's JTBC TV News Analysis, the first event of the President of the United States in the past was to inspect military facilities. This time, Biden chose to visit the semiconductor factory intriguing, showing that the United States wanted to use semiconductors to restrain China in the field of science and technology.How to survive between the two major powers in China and the United States in the future, it can be said that the biggest diplomatic challenge of Yin Xiyue's government, and he must show his superb diplomatic wrist.
