Some people say that "developing the chip industry at all costs" is dangerous. Why is it dangerous

Wu Jinglian, a famous economist, said at the 20 18 academic annual meeting hosted by CIDEG in Tsinghua University that it is dangerous to "develop the chip industry at all costs".

Wu Jinglian believes that China has made great achievements in economic development since the reform and opening up 40 years ago. However, the higher the economic development, the more contradictions we encounter and the more problems we need to solve in the international environment. Subsequently, Wu Jinglian mentioned the Sino-US trade conflict and ZTE incident. He stressed that this matter involves whether opening to the outside world should continue and how to deepen domestic reforms to solve some of our major institutional problems. But from the perspective of social reaction, the focus is on the debate with the Trump administration. "For a China person, what should be considered is whether this debate can promote the implementation of our own reform and opening-up policy. However, from the online reflection, it seems that there is danger. The danger is that nationalism has gained an advantage because of this debate, that is, supporting our related industries with stronger administrative power. For example, there is a slogan called' Develop the chip industry at all costs'. " Wu Jinglian said.

Wu Jinglian said that he used to work in an information consulting agency. In fact, the chip problem has always been highly valued by the government. The question is not whether to give money. The scale of the semiconductor chip fund established three years ago is 400 billion yuan. A series of acquisitions like thunis also want to make achievements in chip research and development, but the effect is not good, and there are still many deep-seated problems to be discussed.

Finally, he appealed, "As a researcher, we should observe calmly, scientifically and objectively, find out the root of the problem, and put forward some correct corresponding strategies that are really beneficial to the economic development of our country and the world."
