On September 16, according to foreign media reports, the European Union will propose a new European chip bill to promote self-sufficiency in semiconductors.

In the face of increasingly fierce global semiconductor competition, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, said at the European Parliament on Wednesday local time: “We will propose a new European chip bill aimed at common Create the most advanced European chip ecosystem, including production. This will ensure the security of our supply and develop new markets for breakthrough European technologies.”

EU officials said that the new chip bill proposed by the EU aims to prevent European countries from competing with each other and help the EU compete globally.

Semiconductors have become an indispensable part of modern cars. They play an active role in engine management, temperature control, in-vehicle entertainment and collision safety. However, global supply shortages are causing automobile brands to slow down or stop production. The chronic shortage of semiconductors highlights the importance of chip manufacturers (mostly located in Asia) to the global supply chain.

In addition to the European Union, the United States has also been stepping up its efforts to support the semiconductor industry. Last year, the United States announced the “American Chip Act,” in which members of the United States Congress proposed to invest tens of billions of dollars in the industry. It is reported that countries such as China and Japan have invested heavily in this technology.

In February of this year, the U.S. government ordered a review of the semiconductor supply chain to identify gaps in U.S. manufacturing capacity. At the end of March this year, the US government put forward a huge infrastructure plan of 2 trillion US dollars, which includes a call for 50 billion US dollars of funds specifically to support the domestic semiconductor industry in the United States. In early April of this year, US President Joe Biden (Joe Biden) stated that the US Senate is preparing to legislate on semiconductors.
