美国白宫称，芯片危机可能会造成历史性的损害

就像世界其他地区一样，美国经济也受到了半导体危机的影响，因为许多本地公司因为缺乏芯片而被迫暂停运营。

据报道，白宫本周举行了一场机密简报会，其目标至关重要：美国官员希望更准确地强调芯片短缺给美国经济带来的风险，尤其是在危机预计将持续到2022年的情况下。

白宫已经在游说为芯片制造补贴提供大量资金，据路透社报道，这次简报的目的是为了强调国会必须尽快批准这些提议。

然而，白宫认为，除非半导体危机尽快得到解决，否则半导体危机可能会对美国经济产生巨大影响。

一名白宫官员表示，“半导体供应严重中断可能会对美国经济造成历史性损害”，并强调从长期来看，这一问题可能导致其他技术和军事担忧。

然而，处理受限的芯片库存并不是一夜之间解决的。虽然英特尔和三星等公司已经表达了他们在美国制造芯片的意图，但建立必要的工厂并为开始生产做好准备需要时间。

以英特尔为例，俄亥俄州一家价值200亿美元的新芯片工厂的生产不太可能早于2024年开始生产。不过，行业分析师预计，在汽车制造业之前，至少在一些关键行业，短缺将结束。

另一方面，现在有人担心，由于乌克兰战争引发的地缘政治紧张局势，半导体危机可能需要更多的时间来解决。俄罗斯也导致了包括霓虹灯在内的其他天然气短缺，因为乌克兰一直是芯片制造所需天然气的主要供应商之一。

The Chip Crisis Could Cause Historic Damage to the U.S., the White House Warns

Just like the rest of the world, the United States economy is also affected by the semiconductor crisis, as many local companies have been forced to temporarily suspend their operations because of the lack of chips.

The White House has reportedly held a classified briefing this week, and its goal was critical: the U.S. officials wanted to more accurately highlight the risks created by the chip shortage for the country’s economy, especially as the crisis is expected to continue beyond 2022.

The White House is already lobbying for massive funding for chip manufacturing subsidies, and per Reuters, the purpose of the briefing was to emphasize that Congress must approve the proposals as soon as possible.

However, the White House believes the semiconductor crisis could have a massive impact on the country’s economy unless it’s addressed as soon as possible.

A White House official said that a “significant interruption to our supply of semiconductors could cause historic damage to the U.S. economy,” emphasizing that such a problem could lead to other technological and military concerns in the long term.

However, dealing with the constrained chip inventory isn’t something that can be resolved overnight. While companies like Intel and Samsung have already expressed their intentions to manufacture chips in the United States, building the necessary factories and preparing them for the start of production takes time.

In the case of Intel, for instance, the production at a new $20 billion chip facility in Ohio is unlikely to start earlier than 2024. Industry analysts, however, expect the shortage to be over by that time, at least in some key industries, such as car manufacturing.

On the other hand, there are now concerns the semiconductor crisis could take more time to be resolved due to the geopolitical tensions fueled by the war in Ukraine. The invasion started by the Russian military has led to other shortages, including neon, as Ukraine has been one of the main suppliers of the gas required for the manufacturing of chips.
