It’s about to be “Trade War Summer” in Europe!

The EU is expected to slap tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles this week, citing a months-long investigation into Beijing’s subsidies for EV manufacturers.

The move comes amid wider EU-China trade tensions over green technologies like EVs, solar panels, and batteries, where China has become a major low-cost producer whose exports often undercut those of Western competitors.

The EU says China is unfairly subsidizing producers and “dumping” goods in Europe that it can’t sell at home because of weak consumer demand.

China says it’s being unfairly punished for being too good at producing precisely the products the West claims it wants to meet its climate goals.

Experts doubt the tariffs will be big enough to dent sales. Chinese EVs are relatively cheap in the EU, starting at around $32,000.

But China could retaliate against EU industries. Chinese media say local firms want Beijing to consider EU subsidies for European brandy, dairy products, and pork.

If the Europeans try to unplug Chinese EVs, expect Beijing to clap back fast with tariffs of its own on those industries, upping the ante in a trade dispute between the world’s largest exporter (China) and the world’s largest advanced consumer market (the EU).

C’est sur le point d’être « l’été de la guerre commerciale » en Europe !

L’UE devrait imposer cette semaine des droits de douane sur les véhicules électriques fabriqués en Chine, citant une enquête de plusieurs mois sur les subventions accordées par Pékin aux fabricants de véhicules électriques.

Cette décision intervient dans un contexte de tensions commerciales plus larges entre l’UE et la Chine sur les technologies vertes comme les véhicules électriques, les panneaux solaires et les batteries, où la Chine est devenue un important producteur à bas prix dont les exportations sont souvent inférieures à celles de ses concurrents occidentaux.

L’UE affirme que la Chine subventionne injustement les producteurs et « dumping » en Europe des produits qu’elle ne peut pas vendre chez elle en raison de la faible demande des consommateurs.

La Chine affirme qu’elle est injustement punie pour avoir trop bien réussi à produire précisément les produits que l’Occident prétend vouloir pour atteindre ses objectifs climatiques.

Les experts doutent que les droits de douane soient suffisamment élevés pour nuire aux ventes. Les véhicules électriques chinois sont relativement bon marché dans l’UE, à partir d’environ 32 000 dollars.

Mais la Chine pourrait riposter contre les industries européennes. Les médias chinois affirment que les entreprises locales souhaitent que Pékin envisage des subventions européennes pour le brandy, les produits laitiers et le porc européens.

Si les Européens tentent de débrancher les véhicules électriques chinois, on s’attend à ce que Pékin réagisse rapidement en imposant ses propres droits de douane sur ces industries, faisant monter la barre dans un conflit commercial entre le plus grand exportateur mondial (la Chine) et le plus grand marché de consommation avancé au monde (l’UE). .

The implications of China’s exports to Russia and their overall trends have significant ramifications for the world economy and geopolitical relations. Let’s explore key points:

China-Russia Trade Trends:

China’s exports to Russia have surged, with a 41.5% increase in January and February 2024 compared to the same period last year 1. Key export products include machinery, nuclear reactors, vehicles, electronics, and electrical equipment 2.

Economic Impact:

Western sanctions on Russia have led Moscow to pivot toward China for economic support. China relies on Russian crude oil and coal for manufacturing and energy security. Settlements for trade have been delayed due to Chinese banks treading carefully amid sanctions 3.

Les implications des exportations chinoises vers la Russie et leurs tendances générales ont des conséquences importantes sur l’économie mondiale et les relations géopolitiques. Explorons les points clés :

Tendances commerciales sino-russes :
Les exportations chinoises vers la Russie ont bondi, avec une augmentation de 41,5 % en janvier et février 2024 par rapport à la même période de l’année dernière 1. Les principaux produits d’exportation comprennent les machines, les réacteurs nucléaires, les véhicules, l’électronique et les équipements électriques 2.

Impact economique:
Les sanctions occidentales contre la Russie ont conduit Moscou à se tourner vers la Chine pour obtenir un soutien économique. La Chine dépend du pétrole brut et du charbon russes pour sa production manufacturière et sa sécurité énergétique. Les règlements commerciaux ont été retardés en raison de la prudence des banques chinoises face aux sanctions 3.



Geopolitical Implications:

China and Russia are not formal allies but have strengthened ties to challenge U.S. hegemony. Western democracies’ re-engagement with China while maintaining tough stances reflects a delicate balancing act 4. The U.S. and EU closely monitor China’s sustained Russian trade, which could impact their relations 3.

Western Economies’ Reaction:

Western policymakers face challenges in responding to China’s growing role in Russia’s defense industry. Enacting comparable sanctions on China would be disruptive to the global economy 5. The U.S. Treasury has issued stern warnings to China over supporting Russia’s war machinery 6.

China’s trade with Russia amid sanctions has complex implications, affecting global dynamics and requiring careful diplomatic maneuvering by Western economies. 2 4 1 3 5 6

Implications géopolitiques :
La Chine et la Russie ne sont pas des alliées formelles mais ont renforcé leurs liens pour défier l’hégémonie américaine. Le réengagement des démocraties occidentales envers la Chine, tout en maintenant des positions fermes, reflète un délicat exercice d’équilibre 4. Les États-Unis et l’UE surveillent de près le commerce soutenu de la Chine avec la Russie, ce qui pourrait avoir un impact sur leurs relations 3.

Réaction des économies occidentales :
Les décideurs politiques occidentaux sont confrontés à des difficultés pour répondre au rôle croissant de la Chine dans l’industrie de défense russe. L’imposition de sanctions comparables à la Chine perturberait l’économie mondiale 5. Le Trésor américain a lancé de sévères avertissements à la Chine concernant son soutien à la machine de guerre russe 6.Le commerce de la Chine avec la Russie dans un contexte de sanctions a des implications complexes, affectant la dynamique mondiale et nécessitant des manœuvres diplomatiques prudentes de la part des économies occidentales. 2 4 1 3 5 6

Putin to visit North Korea and Vietnam

Russian state media reported Monday that President Vladimir Putin will travel to North Korea and Vietnam in the coming weeks as Moscow tries to build influence among middle powers in Asia.

This will be Putin’s first trip to Pyongyang in 24 years, and he’ll find the city much changed. In 2000, the massive unfinished Ryugyong Hotel loomed skeletally over Stalinist-era apartment blocks, in an almost-too-on-the-nose metaphor for the country’s paranoid and feeble state two years after the 1994-1998 mass famine. Putin was in town to officially reestablish relations with North Korea, which had ruptured following the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Today, the DPRK’s economy can now support a level of prosperity in Pyongyang — including cladding for that still-empty hotel, and some high-rises nearby to soften the landscape. It also now has nuclear weapons to protect itself from the US and artillery shells Russia needs in Ukraine, meaning Putin has to show up with something a little more high-tech in hand.

He’s previously pledged to help North Korea put spy satellites in orbit, which it accomplished for the first time last year. But a subsequent launch this May, which South Korean intelligence believes was aided by Russian technicians, exploded shortly after takeoff. Nonetheless, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un says he wants to launch three more spy satellites this year, and we have our eye out for any indication of where the cooperation might go from here.

The Vietnam leg is less juicy by comparison. Hanoi and Moscow have a tight military relationship stretching back to the early Cold War, but Vietnam has recently been courting better relations with the US to offset threats from China. We’re expecting a carefully choreographed visit with little that could rock the boat.

The recent decline in the United States’ standing in the Arab world and China’s growing influence indeed has significant implications. Let’s break down some key points:

Public Opinion Shift:

  • A new public opinion survey reveals that Arab citizens’ views of the United States have sharply declined due to its support for Israel during the conflict in Gaza.
  • China, surprisingly, emerges as the main beneficiary in the region.

China’s Diplomatic Gains:

  • Beijing is capitalizing on this situation, reaping diplomatic rewards with minimal investment.
  • China’s humanitarian aid, high-level visits, and rhetorical support for the Palestinians are paying off.

Impact Beyond the Middle East:

  • China’s benefits extend beyond the Middle East to Southeast Asia.
  • Public approval of the U.S. among Muslim-majority populations in Southeast Asia has also fallen sharply.

U.S. Political Polarization:

  • American politicians used to care about global perceptions of the U.S., but today’s intense political polarization hinders such considerations.
  • President Biden faces constraints due to internal divisions within Congress and his own party.

China’s Rising Influence:

  • The longer the Gaza conflict persists, the more China’s standing grows in the Middle East and the Global South.

In this complex geopolitical landscape, the balance of power is shifting, and China is strategically leveraging opportunities.

The Recipe for World Madness In the Islamic Regions



Since Father Bush’s Presidency, the equation of U.S. Foreign Policy has tilted toward direct intervention and reshaping of the Muslim World of North Africa, Subsaharan Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia.

Today is the return of the crank of an engine that rusted given that no improvement in the living conditions of the masses occurred despite all the given promises that the change of regimes will bring better life.

This lack of materialization added more burden on the shoulders of the people on top of the ones driven by the new rulers installed in a new democratic way made the United States Foreign Policy be seen as a change in the continuity if not worsening the social, economic, and financial structures in these regions.

The East and the West rivalry exacerbated these localized tensions resulting from the direct competition between China and the United States, the split of the World Geopolitics in dual and multipolar divisions also deepened.

The evolving landscape of U.S. foreign policy in the Islamic regions has been marked by complex dynamics and shifting priorities. Let’s explore some key aspects:

Post-Cold War Interventions: Since the era of President George H.W. Bush, U.S. foreign policy has increasingly involved direct intervention and reshaping in Muslim-majority regions.

North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia have been focal points for strategic engagement.

Unfulfilled Promises: Despite promises of positive change under new regimes, living conditions for the masses have not significantly improved.

The gap between expectations and reality has burdened the population.

Continuity and Challenges: The transition to democratic governance has sometimes failed to address underlying social, economic, and financial issues.

Some perceive U.S. foreign policy as perpetuating existing structures rather than effecting positive transformation.

Global Rivalries: The rivalry between the East (China) and the West (United States) has intensified localized tensions.

Geopolitical divisions have deepened, impacting stability and regional dynamics.

In this complex landscape, the pursuit of stability, development, and peace remains a delicate balancing act. 


How about Africa where the U.S. presence like France is no more accepted such today in Niger with the rapatriation of the U.S. forces from Niger, 900 soldiers and the rejection of the French army presence by Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso along the rise of Russian intelligence and military and the Chinese financial and economi presence in the same area of Africa

Case studies that shed light on the challenges related to U.S. foreign policy in the Islamic regions:

US Foreign Policy and Conflict in Eurasia:

  • This series examines the role of U.S. foreign policy in exacerbating or ameliorating hostilities among and within Muslim nations.
  • It explores tensions between Islamic groups and the West, particularly in the context of security concerns after 9/11.
  • Case studies delve into specific instances where U.S. actions influenced dynamics in the region.

Key Challenges for U.S. Policy in the Middle East:

Challenges within the Muslim World:

These case studies highlight the complexities and long-term implications of U.S. engagement in the Islamic regions. 


African nations navigate a delicate balancing act in their relations with multiple global powers.

Diversification: African countries engage with various powers, including the United States, China, Russia, and regional actors. By diversifying partnerships, they avoid overreliance on any single nation.

Pragmatism: African leaders prioritize national interests over ideological alignment. They seek economic, security, and development benefits from different partners.

Balancing Act: African nations balance cooperation and competition among major powers.

Evolving dynamics in Africa, where various global powers are asserting their influence:

French Withdrawal:

  • French President Emmanuel Macron’s decision to withdraw French troops from Niger came after demands from the country’s military leadership.
  • This move reflects a broader trend of French withdrawals from African countries, including Burkina Faso, the Central African Republic, and Mali.
  • Anti-French sentiment has been on the rise across parts of the continent.

U.S. Presence:

Russian Influence:

Chinese Engagement:


In this complex landscape, African nations must navigate competing interests while maintaining agency in global frameworks.  They aim to maximize gains while minimizing risks.


The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has significant implications for global dynamics, including China’s role. Here are some key points:

China’s Diplomatic Influence: As Russia’s actions face international condemnation, China has positioned itself as a diplomatic player in the South and beyond.

Beijing’s engagement with countries seeking alternatives to U.S.-Russia tensions strengthens its standing.

South-South Cooperation:

China’s alignment with the Global South, including G77 nations, elevates its influence on multilateral systems and global norms.

By fostering stronger ties, China becomes a peer to G7 economies.

Strategic Calculations:

China’s support for Russia is multifaceted. It goes beyond the military conflict and aligns with its response to U.S. containment strategies. Beijing’s investments and partnerships yield returns, even amid geopolitical complexities.

In this evolving landscape, China’s role as a diplomatic force continues to shape global relations. 

In the case of Lobito investment, China hold the primary role and in the Central Africa and Sahel, Russia hold the military power making Africa to be more tuned toward a nationalistic approach for its development and using the colonialism and the neo-colonialism as the reason of changing the rulers by new military militants instead the legation of the western countries


Lobito Investment: The Lobito Atlantic Railway project, covering Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Zambia, is a significant infrastructure initiative. Led by the United States, the project aims to enhance logistical infrastructure in southern Africa. However, Chinese state-owned enterprises and private companies already dominate critical mineral supply chains (such as copper and cobalt) needed for electric vehicle components. The Lobito Corridor project may inadvertently benefit Chinese companies more than originally intended.

Russia’s Military Influence: Russia has expanded military cooperation with former Portuguese colonies in West Africa. It seeks to spread influence from the landlocked Sahel and Central African Republic (CAR) into key waterways for regional and transatlantic shipping. Russian Atlantic basing in West Africa serves as an alternative to Mediterranean basing, potentially threatening NATO’s flank.

Nationalistic Approach: African nations are increasingly turning to military rulers due to declining confidence in civilian leaders. Weakness of African armies encourages preoccupation with domestic order. Military leaders plot against civilian orders they find intolerable, leading to coups d’état.

Changing Rulers: The continent has entered a period of political turmoil, with several states experiencing coups d’état. Possession of weapons often becomes a fast track to power for military officers. European troops rarely intervene during rapid coups, emboldening African officers.

China’s economic influence and Russia’s military presence shape Africa’s development and governance, with implications for nationalistic approaches and changes in leadership.

International Conference on Africa and AGOA, Berkeley, California, USA

Since my early studies at Institut des Etudes Politiques of the Grenoble University, the development, and integration of Africa were at the forefront of my studies and topics of my presentations in seminaries and essay papers. It was natural that I continue to work and increase awareness about Africa and its need to establish new kinds of relations with countries other than the past metropolitan and colonialists. I extended the invitation to Dr. Boubacar N’diaye for his presence among us at this International Conference on Africa.  He was delighted about my presentation and we also sat together and had lunch at the same table.  Wonderful Man with full love for Africa and Africans and who initiated a series of important financial and operational measures: the African Businessmen Round Table, the creation of the African Bank for import-export (Afreximbank), and the setting up of special easy financing for the African private sector (investors and entrepreneurs) without the guarantee of their governments

1993-1994 – Event for the Promotion of Export and International Trade Between California and the Rest of the World that have Shaped my Memories and Destiny

In California, it All Started in 1993 at the East Bay Small Business Development Center, at Green Breurner’s Building, the Former Largest Department Furniture Store at the 7th Floor with Ms. Selma Taylor as the Executive Director and Dr. Said El Mansour Cherkaoui as the Business Consultant

The Breuner Building at 2201 Broadway, Oakland, California became the site of the John Breuner Furniture Company in 1931.  The art deco terra cotta masterpiece was designed by prominent local architect Albert Roller

Historical landmark columnist Annalee Allen called the Breuner Building “an eight-story reinforced concrete building with a distinctive variegated sea-green glazed terra cotta front facade, constructed in 1931 to house the John Breuner Furniture Company store. Other noteworthy features of the building include Art Deco motifs, and a pair of stylized figures crafting a chair located over the front entrance.”

The Oakland store was closed in the 1970’s and sold by the company where, following renovation, the historic building reopened as an office building in the late 1970’s.

The California Genealogical Society moved into the former Breuner Building in March 2007. As of 2012, the appearance of Ikea furniture, large yoga balls for sitting, and a flyer on the door indicating an entrance on the side heralded the move-in of a startup on the ground floor of the building – Spark Art.

Location: 2201 Broadway, Oakland, California

So to combine the useful with the pleasant, I published all these photos with first that of Africa over my shoulders. This photo dates from 2001, the year I suggested and participated in the organization of the First International Conference on Africa held in Northern California at Berkeley. Another will follow later in San Francisco in 2007.

I complete this first photo with others such as the one where the former CEO of the African Development Bank (Dr. Babacar Ndiang) was holding my hand and I am surrounded by African-American executives, one during one of my presentations and others showing a partial view of the audience.

Conférence Internationale sur l’Afrique a Claremont Hotel, Berkeley, California, USA

Since my early studies at Institut des Etudes Politiques of the Grenoble University, France, the development and integration of Africa were at the forefront of my studies and topics of my presentations in seminaries and essay papers. It was natural that I continue to work and increase the awareness about Africa and its need of establishing new kinds of relations with other countries other than the past metropolitan and colonialists.

Here below among other pictures, there is a photo taken in the company with the Regretted Dr. Babacar Ndiaye, former CEO of the African Development Bank Group who hold firmly my hand and is standing at my left side.

I extended the invitation to Dr. Boubacar N’diaye for his presence among us at this International Conference on Africa.  He was delighted about my presentation and we also sat together and had lunch at the same table.  Wonderful Man with full love for Africa and Africans and who initiated a series of important financial and operational measures: the African Businessmen Round Table, the creation of the African Bank for import-export (Afreximbank) and the setting up of a special easy financing for the African private sector (investors and entrepreneurs) without the guarantee of their governments.

Recommendation by Dr. Wesley Young, Director, Services for International Students and Scholars at University of California, Davis –

https://siss.ucdavis.edu/

I was the Director of Graduate Business Programs at Dominican University of San Rafael, when Dr. Cherkaoui was teaching in our international MBA program. Said brought not only a solid academic background to the classroom, but also a wealth of business experience both in the US and in Asia and Latin America. He is passionate about his students and his work outside the classroom. This made him one of the most effective faculty that we had teaching at the time.

The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) is a trade agreement between the United States and over 30 sub-Saharan African countries that allows the countries to export products to the US without tariffs. The US Congress passed the legislation in May 2000, and it was extended to 2025 in 2015. The goal of AGOA is to improve economic relations between the US and Africa and to help the economies of sub-Saharan Africa

AGOA – AFRIQUE – USA – AFRICA and Said El Mansour Cherkaoui

International Conference on Africa, I initiated and organized with the EBCITD (East Bay Center for International Trade Development) Oakland, California.

So to combine the useful with the pleasant, I published all these photos with first that of Africa over my shoulders. This photo dates from 2001, the year I suggested and participated in the organization of the First International Conference on Africa held in Northern California at Berkeley. Another will follow later in San Francisco in 2007.

I completed this first photo with others such as the one where the former CEO of the African Development Bank (Dr. Babacar Ndiang) was holding my hand and I am surrounded by African-American executives, one during one of my presentations and others showing a partial view of the audience.

Said El Mansour Cherkaoui is at Claremont Club & Spa, A Fairmont HotelApril 4, 2016  · Berkeley 

Since my early studies at Institut des Etudes Politiques of the Grenoble University, France, the development and integration of Africa were at the forefront of my studies and topics of my presentations in seminaries and essay papers. It was natural that I continue to work and increase awareness about Africa and its need to establish new kinds of relations with other countries other than the past metropolitan and colonialists.

Here below among other pictures, there is a photo taken in the company with the Regretted Dr. Babacar Ndiaye, former CEO of the African Development Bank Group who hold firmly my hand and is standing at my left side.

I extended the invitation to Dr. Boubacar N’diaye for his presence among us at this International Conference on Africa.  He was delighted about my presentation and we also sat together and had lunch at the same table.  Wonderful Man with full love for Africa and Africans and who initiated a series of important financial and operational measures: the African Businessmen Round Table, the creation of the African Bank for import-export (Afreximbank), and the setting up of special easy financing for the African private sector (investors and entrepreneurs) without the guarantee of their governments.

High Tech Competition and Geo-Political Encounter

Updated on 8/2/2024 – Initial publication on 9/6/2022

The #Intel earnings report with key facts and figures:

Revenue Miss: Intel significantly missed analyst expectations for the third quarter. Revenue is expected to be $12.5 billion to $13.5 billion, lower than the estimate of $14.38 billion.

EPS Miss: The company projects a loss of 3 cents a share loss per share, compared to the expected profit of profit 30 cents.

Job Cuts and Dividend Suspension: To address these challenges, Intel is planning to cut more than 15% of its workforce (Total workforce around 110,000 people) and suspend dividend payments starting in the fourth quarter.

Competitive Landscape: Intel is struggling to keep pace with competitors like Nvidia (more than twice in sales) and AMD (more than $100 billion higher valuation). TSMC is also recognized for having industry’s best production.

Gelsinger’s Outlook and Spending Cuts: Despite these setbacks, CEO Pat Gelsinger remains confident in Intel’s long-term strategy. He believes their manufacturing will catch up to rivals (catch and pass those of rivals) and justify new plant construction.

However, Intel is reducing spending on new plants and equipment (more than 20%) with a new budget of $25 billion and $27 billion in 2024 and $20 billion and $23 billion in 2025.

Stock Performance: Intel’s stock price fell sharply (more than 17%) in after-hours trading, extending its year-to-date decline to more than 42%.

Overall, Intel is facing significant challenges in the third quarter, including lower-than-expected revenue and earnings. The company is taking steps to address these challenges, such as cutting costs and reducing capital expenditures. However, these cuts may not be enough to offset the competitive pressures that Intel is facing.

Microchips, 21st Century Black Gold and US Plan $50 Billion Investment in CHIPS

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ: AMD), and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) are some of the major players in the semiconductor industry in the US.

High Tech Competition and Geo-Political Encounter

On a diplomatic trip to Taiwan as tensions with Beijing are at their highest, U.S. Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi visited a semiconductor factory. The production of these essential components of electronic chips, on which modern computing is based, is at the heart of major #strategic issues. In retaliation for the visit of the American representative, #China has stopped its exports of natural sand (silica) to Taiwan, a mineral which happens to be an essential ingredient in the manufacture of… semiconductors.

As figures from the Comtrade database show, Taiwan is a champion in this area. In 2020, the latest year for which complete data is available, the value of its microchip exports was over $120 billion, slightly more than its gigantic neighbor China, whose shipments are estimated at $117 billion. If China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan are taken together, the value of exports from the region (nearly $400 billion in 2020) represents around half of the global total.

That year, the U.S. exported chips worth around $44 billion, three times less than Taiwan, but still enough to rank seventh in the world in a market dominated by Asia. In 1990, the United States still produced almost 40% of world demand, and Europe about as much. But the arrival on the market of South Korea, Taiwan, and then China in the 2000s, quickly changed the landscape. In 2020, the United States and Europe together accounted for only around 20% of global production.

With the global supply chain disruptions and shortages that have taken place during the pandemic, several countries have launched initiatives to restart the production of these strategic components in their territory. Before the United States, Japan and the European Union have already announced measures to relocate semiconductor manufacturing.

AFRICAN RESEARCHERS, ENGINEERS, INDUSTRY CAPTAINS, FINANCIERS, STATES… MUST GET STARTED ON THIS HIGHLY STRATEGIC AND LUCRATIVE MARKET!

Biden Administration Releases Plan for $50 Billion Investment in Chips


U.S. Department of Commerce – 7h • 7 hours ago

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/06/business/economy/biden-tech-chips.html

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a once-in-a-generation opportunity, to secure our national security and revitalize American manufacturing and revitalize American innovation and research and development,” U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo said. “So, although we’re working with urgency, we have to get it right, and that’s why we are laying out the strategy now.”

The Commerce Department has said its goal is to encourage the production of leading-edge semiconductors and shore up the supply of chips currently in use


CHIPS & Science Act of 2022

President Biden signed into law a historic investment that will help revitalize the U.S. domestic manufacturing economy

President Biden signed into law a historic investment that will help revitalize the U.S. domestic manufacturing economy

The strategy includes key initiatives, timelines for funding notices, recommendations for successful applications

Today, the U.S. Department of Commerce released its strategy outlining how the Department will implement $50 billion from the bipartisan CHIPS Act of 2022, signed by President Biden last month. The CHIPS for America program, housed within the Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), will revitalize the domestic semiconductor industry and spur innovation while creating good-paying jobs in communities across the country.

“Rebuilding America’s leadership in the semiconductor industry is a down payment on our future as a global leader,” said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. “CHIPS for America will ensure continued US leadership in the industries that underpin our national security and economic competitiveness. Under President Biden’s leadership, we are once again making things in America, revitalizing our manufacturing industry after decades of disinvestment and making the investments we need to lead the world in technology and innovation.”

The strategy, released today [9/06/2022], outlines the initiatives, strategic goals, and guardrails guiding the CHIPS for America program.

The program’s four primary goals are:

  • Establish and expand domestic production of leading-edge semiconductors in the US, of which the US currently makes 0% of the world’s supply
  • Build a sufficient and stable supply of mature node semiconductors
  • Invest in R&D to ensure the next-generation semiconductor technology is developed and produced in the US.
  • Create tens of thousands of good-paying manufacturing jobs and more than a hundred thousand construction jobs. This effort will ensure the pipeline for these jobs expands to include people who have historically not had a chance to participate in this industry, including women, people of color, veterans, and people who live in rural areas.

 The program supports three distinct initiatives:

  • Large-scale investments in leading-edge manufacturing: The CHIPS incentives program will target approximately three-quarters of the incentives funding, around $28 billion, to establish domestic production of leading-edge logic and memory chips that require the most sophisticated manufacturing processes available today. Those amounts may be available for grants or cooperative agreements, or to subsidize loans or loan guarantees. The Department is still assessing the impact of the newly enacted advanced manufacturing facility investment tax credit on capital expenditures, which will generate significant additional project investment from participants and will reduce the required share of CHIPS incentives funding allocated for leading-edge projects. The Department will seek proposals for the construction or expansion of manufacturing facilities to fabricate, package, assemble, and test these critical components, particularly focusing on projects that involve multiple high-cost production lines and associated supplier ecosystems.
  • New manufacturing capacity for mature and current-generation chips, new and specialty technologies, and semiconductor industry suppliers: The CHIPS incentives program will increase domestic production of semiconductors across a range of nodes including chips used in defense and critical commercial sectors such as automobiles, information and communications technology, and medical devices. This initiative is broad and flexible, encouraging industry participants to craft creative proposals. For this initiative, the Department expects dozens of awards with the total value expected to be at least a quarter of the available CHIPS incentives funding, or approximately $10 billion. Those amounts may be available for grants or cooperative agreements, or to subsidize loans or loan guarantees.
  • Initiatives to strengthen US leadership in R&D: The CHIPS R&D program will invest $11 billion in a National Semiconductor Technology Center, a National Advanced Packaging Manufacturing Program, up to three new Manufacturing USA Institutes, and in NIST metrology research and development programs. This constellation of programs is intended to create a dynamic new network of innovation for the semiconductor ecosystem in the United States. Executing this vision will require collaboration with academia, industry, and allied countries, and will require sustained investment over many years.

The Strategy also provides clear recommendations for potential applicants, reinforcing the Department’s commitment to advancing long-term strategic goals and identifying criteria against which applications will be evaluated. The criteria include:

  • Increase scale and attract private capital: The CHIPS incentives program will encourage large-scale investments that attract associated suppliers and workforce investments. In addition to committing their significant resources, potential applicants are encouraged to explore creative financing structures to tap a variety of sources of capital.
  • Leverage collaborations to build out semiconductor ecosystems: The CHIPS incentives program will encourage collaboration between industry stakeholders, investors, customers, designers, suppliers, and international firms. Such collaborations could include purchase commitments, partnerships that enable fabless design, or collaborations between suppliers and producers.
  • Secure additional financial incentives and support to build regional and local industry clusters that strengthen communities: The CHIPS incentives program requires applicants to the incentives program to secure state or local incentives. The Department expects to give preference to projects that include state and local incentive packages that maximize regional and local competitiveness, invest in the surrounding community, and prioritize broad economic gains, rather than outsize financial contributions to a single company.
  • Establish a secure and resilient semiconductor supply chain: The CHIPS incentives program will prioritize projects that adhere to standards and guidelines on information security, data tracking, and verification, and that collaborate on further development and adoption of such standards. 
  • Expand the workforce pipeline to match increased domestic capacity workforce needs: The CHIPS incentives program will create good-paying jobs that benefit all Americans, including economically disadvantaged individuals and populations that may be underrepresented in the industry. The program will prioritize workforce solutions that enable employers, training providers, workforce development organizations, labor unions, and other key stakeholders to work together. The goal is to create more paid training and experiential apprenticeship programs, provide wrap-around services, prioritize creative recruitment strategies, and hire workers based on their acquired skills.
  • Create inclusive and broadly-shared opportunities for businesses: The CHIPS incentives program will prioritize projects that proactively work to ensure that small businesses, minority-owned, veteran-owned, and women-owned businesses, and businesses in rural areas, benefit from opportunities generated by the CHIPS programs.
  • Provide robust financial plans: Applicants will be required to provide detailed project-specific and company-level financial data to ensure that incentive funds are meeting the economic and national security goals of the program while protecting taxpayer dollars.

Funding documents, which will provide specific application guidance for the CHIPS for America program, will be released by early February 2023. Awards and loans will be made on a rolling basis as soon as applications can be responsibly processed, evaluated, and negotiated.
