Zhou Zixue pointed out that since its establishment, SMIC has always focused on improving the company's core competitiveness and value, enriching its product portfolio and expanding its technology platform. Over the past 20 years, the company has steadily increased its production capacity, expanded its revenue scale, diversified customers and good reputation. It has cultivated and reserved more effective management, R & D, operation and support teams to accelerate innovation and development.

 

Zhou Zixue said that in recent years, China's IC industry has maintained a good growth. However, in the advanced technology field, there is still a certain gap between Chinese mainland enterprises and the first-class enterprises in the field of production equipment and technical personnel.

 

"The division of labor in the global industrial chain is one of the characteristics of the integrated circuit industry, and the characteristics of integrated circuit OEM enterprises are high investment and continuous investment." According to Zhou Zi's theory, "SMIC is the largest IC OEM enterprise in mainland China. Based on 20 years of operation experience, SMIC will gradually promote the virtuous cycle from old plant to new plant, steadily expand production capacity, improve operational efficiency, optimize product portfolio, and continuously enhance the company's core competitiveness through thinking and analyzing the long-term market demand.

 

In view of the increasingly complex international situation, Zhou Zixue stressed that SMIC, as a OEM enterprise facing diversified customers at home and abroad, has strictly abided by the laws of the place of business since its establishment and operated in accordance with the law. He deeply regrets the export control of the United States. At present, the company is in normal operation, and the export control has a certain impact on the company in the short term, but the impact is controllable. The company will continue to follow up the matter and continue to evaluate the impact. The company maintains close cooperation with suppliers and customers, and actively communicates with relevant departments of the U.S. government to try to resolve the differences between the two sides.

 

Finally, Zhou Zixue said that the world has entered the era of interconnection of all things, the interests of all countries are closely linked, and the fate of all countries share weal and woe. Although the current global trading system is facing many uncertainties and the complexity of the external environment is increasing, we believe that the pace of innovation and development of the semiconductor industry will not stop. In the long run, the demand of IC industry is still strong, and challenges and opportunities coexist. SMIC will continue to uphold an open, cooperative development and win-win attitude, deepen cooperation with domestic and foreign customers, suppliers and partners, and contribute to the innovation and development of the semiconductor industry.
