The book "Semiconductor Battlefield: China's Strategic Competition and Innovation Autonomy in the 21st Century" was thoroughly researched by authors Pham Sy Thanh and Nguyen Tue Anh to unveil the secret of the uncompromising race between superpowers to control one of the world's most important industries: Semiconductors.
The semiconductor battlefield delves into the ways in which countries and corporations, especially the two rival powers China and the United States, compete to gain control of the global semiconductor market.
The authors' approach to policy research based on four pillars has provided systematic and thorough analysis of the strategies and policies that China and the US have applied to build and strengthen the position of their semiconductor manufacturing industries.
The book not only focuses on the great successes, but also analyzes the great failures and lessons that both the US and China have experienced in the past 70 years. The stories of the rise and fall of large technology corporations, despite the support of the State, are a strong reminder of the need for long-term strategy, foresight and continuous investment in research and development.
More importantly, the two authors Pham Sy Thanh and Nguyen Tue Anh also gave their thoughts on building a self-reliant, innovative technology ecosystem that can adapt to an increasingly changing environment. This is a time when we cannot delay.
The world is moving forward at an unprecedented pace, if we don't act quickly, and if we don't act effectively, we will lose the opportunity to move forward.
Understanding semiconductor industry development policies from diverse practices of countries and territories not only helps to provide policy implications for the industry, but also helps to answer essential questions for identifying the global technology landscape in the next decade; and thereby see the opportunities and challenges of each country.
On the occasion of the book launch, a scientific seminar with the participation of speakers will be held at 8:30 a.m. on October 29 at the Radio Frequency Department, Ministry of Information and Communications (Hanoi).
