美国政府将投入250亿美元帮助芯片行业发展

美国国会议员提议提供约250亿美元的资金，以加强美国半导体生产，并应对来自中国日益加剧的技术竞争。提案资金将支持美国企业建厂和购买芯片制造设备，同时用于赞助和研发“尖端半导体”的生产。在此之前，英特尔（Intel Corp.）等很多美国公司也一直抱怨他们的海外竞争对手可以获得政府支持。根据半导体工业协会的数据，一家半导体制造厂的建设成本估计为150亿美元；该协会去年在研发上花费了近400亿美元，约占其收入的五分之一。此次美国政府对芯片业务的直接支持也代表了政府对产业政策的罕见尝试，此法案版本由参众两院两党议员共同提出，旨在保持美国在这个价值4000亿美元的芯片产业中始终保持领导地位，目前来说虽然美国是芯片工业第五大出口国，但中国有目前最大的芯片市场，芯片产业也是特朗普对华贸易战的核心。

U.S. lawmakers proposed an estimated $25 billion in funding and tax credits to strengthen domestic semiconductor production and counter rising technological competition from China. The effort would support companies building plants in the U.S. and buying chipmaking equipment, while sponsoring research and development into “cutting edge semiconductor” production. Companies such as Intel Corp. have complained for years that overseas rivals benefit unfairly from government support. A semiconductor manufacturing plant costs an estimated $15 billion to construct. The sector spent almost $40 billion on research and development last year, about a fifth of its revenue.U.S. Versions of bills to be introduced in the House and Senate are sponsored by members of both parties. The chip industry is the U.S.’s fifth-largest exporter，but China is the biggest market for chips. The proposal is aimed at maintaining U.S. leadership in a $400 billion industry that’s become central to President Donald Trump’s trade war against China.  source
