Obekuqagelwa emasontweni adlule sekuyinto eyenzeka ngempela. UMnyango Wezohwebo wase-US ufake ohlwini olungafanele inkampani ekhiqiza ama-chip yase-China, i-Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), okwenza kube nzima ukuthi izinkampani zase-US zenze ibhizinisi ngayo. Uma manje sebefuna ukwenza ibhizinisi ngayo, kuzofanele bafake izicelo zokuthola amalayisense okuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe, ihhovisi elizowakhipha ezimeni ezingavamile, ngokusho kweReuters kanye neWall Street Journal. Isinqumo sizofaka isiqhwaga se-smartphone uHuawei enkingeni enkulu.
UMnyango Wezohwebo uyasithethelela lesi sinyathelo ngokuthi ubuchwepheshe be-SMIC bungasetshenziswa ngezinjongo zamasosha ase-China. Ukusho lokhu ngokusekelwe esitatimendeni somhlinzeki woMnyango Wezokuvikela wase-US, inkampani ye-SOS International, ngokusho ukuthi i-chip giant yaseShayina yabambisana nenye yezinkampani ezinkulu zaseShayina embonini yezokuvikela. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abacwaningi basenyuvesi abaxhumene nezempi kuthiwa bahlongoza amaphrojekthi asekelwe kubuchwepheshe be-SMIC.
I-SMIC iyinkampani yesibili yaseShayina yobuchwepheshe obuphezulu engezwe kulokho okubizwa ngokuthi Uhlu Lwebhizinisi ngemuva kweHuawei. Yize imiphumela yokufakwa kwayo ohlwini ingeke icace kuze kube ungqongqoshe unquma ukuthi ubani (uma ekhona) ozothola ilayisense, ukuvinjelwa kungaba nemiphumela emibi kakhulu embonini yezobuchwepheshe yaseChina iyonke. I-SMIC kungase kudingeke iphendukele kubuchwepheshe obungebona base-US uma ifuna ukuthuthukisa ukukhiqiza kwayo noma ukunakekela ihadiwe, futhi asikho isiqinisekiso sokuthi izothola lokho ekudingayo.
Ukuvinjelwa kungase kube nomthelela omubi kumabhizinisi ancike ku-SMIC. I-Huawei idinga i-Shanghai colossus ngokuzayo ukuze kukhiqizwe amanye ama-chips e-Kirin - ikakhulukazi ngemuva kokuthi ilahlekelwe umphakeli wayo oyinhloko i-TSMC ngenxa yezinhlawulo eziqinisiwe, futhi ingase ibe nezinkinga ezengeziwe uma i-SMIC ingakwazi ukuhlangabezana nesidingo sayo esimweni esisha, kubhala i-Endgadget website.
