(Tokyo / Detroit Comprehensive Electric) The United States and Japan will deepen their cooperation in advanced chips and other technology research and development to reduce dependence on China, jointly expand chip manufacturing, and ensure the supply of advanced components that are vital to economic growth.
Minister of Economy and Industry Nishimura Kangyu and US Minister of Commerce Raymond, on Friday (May 26), met in Detroit, Michigan, Michigan, USA.Raymond said in the opening white that he hopes to discuss the progress of supply chain cooperation with the second ministerial meeting of Japan -US business and industrial partnerships.
The two parties issued a joint statement after the meeting, and proposed a roadmap for advanced chip manufacturing cooperation, reiterating to work closely in the high -tech field and the supply chain.
Ensuring key semiconductor supply is not affected by geopolitical risks. For example, possible Taiwan crisis is the primary issue in the Japan -US trade agenda.The statement said that Japan and the United States will jointly confirm and solve the problem that the chip manufacturing is too concentrated in some countries and may destroy the toughness of the semiconductor supply chain toughness.The two countries also promised to cooperate with emerging and developing countries to strengthen the semiconductor supply chain.
The Kyodo News Agency reported that the roadmap was written into the "most cutting -edge semiconductor technology center" (LSTC), which was established in the Institute of Industry Technology of Japan and the University of Tokyo last year.Cooperation between (NSTC).The purpose of this move is to promote bilateral technology development and talent training in the semiconductor field of technological rapid progress.
Further cooperation in the field of Japan -Mei Pharmaceutical and Technology
In the biological field, Japan and the United States will promote cooperation between innovative enterprises engaged in drug development; in terms of quantum computers, the two countries will confirm key materials and components for strengthening the toughness of the supply chain.
Nishimura Kangyu said at a press conference that Japan and the United States "will accelerate technology development cooperation".He also said: "I look forward to using this joint statement to further accelerate the discussion with the United States to promote bilateral economic security cooperation."
Rapidus, a newly established chip manufacturing company in Japan, is working with the International Business Machinery Corporation (IBM) to develop advanced logic (for operation) semiconductors; Japan is also Micron, a US chip manufacturer (Micron), a US chip manufacturer (Micron) set up in Japan.Provide allowances to encourage Micron to expand production in Japan.
In addition, Japan and the Netherlands also agreed to cooperate with the US export control policies to limit selling some chip manufacturing tools to China.
The rise of China's technology and technology in developed economies, and China's control of technology supply chain, is deeply disturbed.Member states of the United States, Japan, and Seven Group (G7) issued a joint statement last week, indicating that there is a constructive and stable relationship with the development of hope and China's development. Do not decompose but "risk."
