I remember that as soon as the news of the chip sales ban came out in April 2018, almost all Chinese people were awakened. Recently, I was a little shocked to hear the news that "Swiss high-precision machine tools will also face a'cut supply'".

According to news from foreign media at the end of April, the United States requested that Switzerland be prohibited from exporting high-precision machine tools to China because these machine tools would affect the "national security" of the United States because they may be used in the production line of China's F-20 fighter.

Such reasons are somewhat untenable. The actions against Huawei's 5G use national security. However, using these as reasons and excuses is always justified by the other party, and there is no conclusive evidence that it will threaten the other party's national security.

Once Switzerland no longer exports high-precision machine tools to China, how much impact will it have on us?

What needs to know is that as one of the German-speaking countries, the "Swiss machine tool" is well-known in the world. People in the industrial circles of all countries know that the machine tools produced in Switzerland are well-known. For a long time, Swiss machine tool exports have ranked among the top five in the world, with per capita exports of machine tools. Earning foreign exchange has been ranked first in the world for nearly 30 years. More than 150 countries in the world are long-term users of Swiss machine tools. Especially precision machine tools are favored by all countries.

Someone has calculated that if machine tools are sold for two pounds, the price per kilogram of Swiss machine tools is 2.8 times that of Japanese machine tools, 3.2 times that of American machine tools, and 10 times that of machine tools exported from China. Despite the high price of Swiss machine tools, "the world's number one", it is a popular item in the international market. At present, even first-class machine tool producing countries such as the United States, Germany, and Japan have been importing various precision machine tools from Switzerland for a long time.

Some Russian experts believe that China has made great achievements in the field of high-precision manufacturing in recent years. Although there is still a certain gap from the international top, China already has the ability to research and develop by itself, and the high-precision machine tools produced by itself can meet the requirements. Domestic demand.

Related professionals have already given the answer. The current level of domestic machine tools is sufficient for military use. Germany's top machine tool level is 95 points, so we have reached about 78 points. It can be said that the United States miscalculated this time.

Related public data shows that Shenyang Machine Tool Co., Ltd. currently ranks first among domestic machine tools. Shenyang Machine Tool Co., Ltd. is one of China's top 500 machinery companies and the largest comprehensive lathe manufacturing base in China. The top ten shareholders of this company are all state-owned capital and are a pure state-owned enterprise, so there is no need for us to worry too much about this.

For example, just like chips, we do not have independent 7nm and 5nm production lines at present, but this is just a lack of commercial chips. Military chips do not need to be as sophisticated as smart phones. The 28nm process is sufficient.

Sweden's high-precision machine tools are among the best, and in the field of industrial manufacturing, machine tools are indispensable. From 5G to chips, lithography machines, to the current machine tools, there is a problem. The more high-end process technology, the more Chinese technology companies lack, so there is still a lot of room for improvement, although there are temporary setbacks. Many, but Huawei and related Chinese technology companies have to thank them for finding shortcomings that have not been exposed.

In fact, whether it is chips or high-precision machine tools, if some Chinese companies still adhere to the idea of “buying is worse than buying, and renting is worse than buying”, then they will eventually be eliminated by the times. As the saying goes, “the ruts of the past, the lessons of the future”, I hope that Chinese high-tech companies can learn from this and develop more independent technologies. With core technologies, not only can they have a long-term foothold, but also contribute to the country’s technological progress. contribution!

Although Xiaomei would rather let her partners lose orders than export to us, this kind of self-destructive operation will not last too long. Back then, two bombs and one satellite, aircraft engines, and now lithography machines, which domestic series did not grow up within the constraints of the United States.
