Snippet: (德國之聲中文網)四年前美國收緊了對華晶片出口管制。這些先進晶片廣泛應用於人工智慧AI及國防等關鍵領域。拜登政府希望借此限制北京獲取能夠提升其軍事實力與金融競爭力的核心技術,從而進一步拉開全球兩大經濟體之間的差距。然而,這一舉措在一定程度上反而加速了中國推進晶片自給自足的進程。早在「中國製造2025」規劃中,這一目標就已被明確提出。此後多年,中國政府持續加大投入,累計投入數千億美元,致力於構建本土半導體產業體系。 北京通過巨額補貼等優惠,扶持本土企業對標美國晶片巨頭英偉達(NVIDIA),以及台灣的台積電(TSMC)。英偉達研發了最先進的Blackwell AI晶片,台積電則主導全球先進晶片代工市場,並掌握N2製程技術。在這一佈局中,被視為中國晶片「自立核心」的中芯國際(SMIC),去年實現營收93億美元,創下歷史新高;而中國第二大晶圓代工廠華虹半導體(HuaHong)則因為需求持續強勁,產能利用率已經達到106%,這一數據來自其2025年第四季度財報。 儘管中國正在全力追趕美國科技巨頭,新加坡國立大學李光耀公共政策學院東亞國際關係助理教授柳庸煜(Ryu Yongwook)卻認為,外界其實往往高估了中國的進展。他接受德國之聲採訪時表示:「北京希望實現晶片自給,但目前的水準還差得很遠。」他指出,中國在研發、設計與創新方面仍落後於美國,在製造層面也不及台灣與韓國。
