Paragraph 12:

美国为什么会认为中国传统芯片对国家安全构成威胁? cont'd

普林斯顿大学博士后研究员、产业政策和中国基础设施问题专家陈凯新(Kyle Chan)指出，芯片与其他商品不同，对美国经济安全冲击更全面。陈凯新对美国之音说：“这是因为芯片是对下游行业的重要输入，如消费类电子产品、汽车等。”
国家安全威胁？
一些分析人士认为，中国芯片若充斥于美国市场中的各类产品，会对美国国家安全构成危害。

Paragraph 11:

美国为什么会认为中国传统芯片对国家安全构成威胁? cont'd

分析人士说，美欧对中国传统芯片的担忧部分来源于在太阳能光伏板和电动汽车等领域的前车之鉴。
奥尔布赖特石桥集团(Albright Stone Group)负责中国与技术政策的合伙人保罗·特廖洛(Paul Triolo) 通过电子邮件对美国之音表示：“人们越来越担心各种成熟制程类型的半导体可能存在所谓的‘产能过剩，这种担忧的部分原因是他们看到中国对钢铁和光伏的补贴如何影响全球市场，从而产生了积极应对未来潜在产能过剩领域的愿望。”

另一方面，中国老一代制程的芯片制造能力日益强大。这些芯片泛指28纳米及以上制程节点的芯片，使用范围广泛，不仅用于各类日用电器，在汽车、军事、航空航天中也有使用。美国认为中国在这一领域的进步受到国家政策支持，可能对全球市场造成倾销隐患，试图以关税等贸易壁垒作为应付手段。

成熟芯片涉及层面广 对美国经济影响深远

美国在对中国“芯片战”中的堵截策略呈现的是一种双向的态势：一方面，在先进制程芯片领域，美国联同盟友、试图通过出口管制限制先进芯片、相关技术和设备从西方国家流入中国；先进制程芯片可以用于超级计算机、人工智能(AI)、量子计算等新型科技领域。

美国目前已经对中国生产的半导体芯片征收60%的关税。从2025年1月1日开始，美国对中国产半导体产品征收50%的关税。唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)再度上台后，又于今年2月宣布，对所有进口自中国的商品在已有的关税基础上加征10%的关税。

特朗普随后又表示，考虑对半导体、汽车和药品进口征收约25%的关税，但没有具体指出这批关税的征收的对象国家和可豁免国家。

调查还将初步评估中国政府的行为和政策对碳化硅(SiC)基板生产的影响是否会对美国商业造成“任何不合理、歧视、负担或限制”。许多新兴的电动车、电动车充电设施和太阳能系统正在越来越广泛地使用碳化硅。

如果目前进行的USTR301调查结果认定中国半导体产品出口对美国经济和国家安全构成危害，预计特朗普政府将再次对中国芯片加征关税。

据报道，穆勒纳尔3月11日还敦促美国与日本、韩国、欧盟和台湾等盟友和伙伴“密切合作”，以“防止中国向全球市场倾销受到补贴芯片”。

这场听证会是美国贸易代表办公室(USTR)对中国制造的芯片发起的一项关键调查的关键步骤。调查从2024年12月发起，调查最初侧重于中国传统芯片的制造，包括将芯片作为组件纳入国防、汽车、医疗器械、航空航天、电信、发电和电网等关键行业的下游产品。
