China's Tsinghua Unigroup Has Been Blocked
by the US Authorities to Buy Micron Technologies
中國清華紫光集團被拒絕對於美光的併購
China is manufacturing almost everything today. All sorts of electronic
components for all sorts of devices, except one thing, semiconductors. By
acquiring Micron Technology for $23 billion (€22 billion), the Chinese hoped
they would compete with the Korean and Taiwanese semiconductor giants.
中國幾乎已經製造了各種東西。所有種類電子材料幾乎都是中國製造了，除了一樣東西，
半導體。以230億美元買下美光，中國希望他們將能與韓國與台灣的半導體巨人抗衡
However, Tsinghua's dreams have been shattered by no others than the US
governmental authorities who stopped any further talks for reasons of
national security concerns. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United
States (CFIUS), which has the power to stop mergers that might endanger
national security has declared that such acquisition would've been under
extreme regulatory scrutiny and would've made things on the long run
extremely difficult for the Chinese to use any know-how from Micron without
the US Government agreement.
然而，清華紫光集團的夢，竟然被美國的政府機構所掩蓋，以國安理由禁止了更進一步
的對話。擁有權力禁止任何可能危及國安的併購的美國外資審查委員會表示，這樣的
併購將會受到相當極端的監管審查，在長期上也將會使中國在沒有美國政府的同意下
無法使用任何美光的科技。
The reasons why CFIUS stopped any merge between the Chinese company and
Micron are rather simple, the American company is the last US-based DRAM
manufacturer that also builds chips and computer modules for advanced weapons
in the US.
美國外資審查委員會禁止任何中國公司與美光談併購的理由是非常簡單的。這間美國公司
之前是在美國製造的DRAM生產商，也為美國的進階武器製造晶片與電腦模組。
Although representing a major industrial boost for the Chinese, the acquiring
of Micron would've deprived US Defense Department of stateside chip-building
facilities and as such it was regarded as a national security matter.
雖然對中國來說是主要是一個工業上的成長，但買下美光，美國國防部門將會被
剝奪一個在美國的晶片製造設施，這被認為是一個國安上的問題。
$23 billion won't buy US Military tech
However, Reuters believes Tsinghua Unigroup’s plans to acquire Micron were
obviously strategic and political since the company is controlled directly by
Beijing, having President Xi Jinping himself among its alumni, and is backed
by China's central government.
230億美元買不了美國的軍事科技
然後，路透社相信清華紫光集團計畫買下美光，出自於一種策略與政治性的理由，因為
這間公司是直接被北京控制，有習近平身為他們的校友之一，而且背後有中國中央政府
支援
Tsinghua Unigroup transformed into a major semiconductor manufacturer after
buying Chinese chipmakers RDA Microelectronics and Spreadtrum with over $1.6
billion (€1.47 billion) last year. Being overshadowed still by Asian giants
like Samsung and TSMC, Tshingua hoped it would develop as an undisputed
semiconductor powerhouse in Asia and be backed by the Chinese government to
develop major civilian and military products that would help China on the
long run.
清華紫光集團在去年已超過1.6億美元買下中國的銳迪科以及展訊之後進入了半導體製造
的領域。在仍然屈居於亞洲半導體巨人例如三星以及台積電之下，清華紫光希望能夠它能
夠在亞洲發展一個確實的半導體製造廠而且在中國政府的長期支援之下主要研發能夠幫助
中國的民用與軍方的產品。
However, with this new bump in Tsinghua's road to glory, it seems that China
will have to wait a while until catching a new opportunity to buy another
semiconductor manufacturing company at a low cost and enter the world's
extremely expensive semiconductor manufacturers club.
然而，清華紫光在通往光榮之路的路上跌了一跤之後，看起來在中國
抓到新的機會以低價買下另一個半導體製造商前還需要再等等，
才能加入這個世界貴的半導體製造商俱樂部
