Network core equipment enterprises by foreign companies encirclement and suppression: Bud on the pinch

As an important part of safeguarding the national network security and developing the Internet industry, our country in 2006 "Nuclear Shishou" (core electronic devices, high-end general-purpose chips, basic software) as with manned spaceflight, lunar exploration project is tied to one of 16 major scientific and technological projects. However, the economic reference newspaper reporter investigation found that China's network core equipment enterprises are suffering from the overall encirclement and suppression of foreign companies, which mainly involves direct market repression, intellectual property, malicious acquisition of three aspects. At the same time, tax, financing, the lack of domestic market protection and other problems also seriously hinder the innovation and development of domestic enterprises.

Tax is 7 times times the financing of foreign enterprises is difficult to lack of hematopoietic basis

"Our tax is 7 times times that of others, these true gold and silver are enterprise innovation of blood, our blood is insufficient, how to innovate development?" Talk about catching up with the world's giants? ”

Reporter investigation to understand that, tax, financing and other issues have become the core infrastructure of domestic network enterprises innovation and development, catch up with the world's major obstacles.

The core chip, for example, is the main competitor for domestic companies in the Chinese market: Qualcomm and Taiwan's MediaTek, the two largest world giants. A well-known domestic chip Enterprise Vice president told reporters that Taiwan in order to support local industry, MediaTek technology and other integrated circuit enterprises do not have value-added tax, the promotion of industrial upgrading regulations also stipulates that the integrated circuit enterprises to buy research and development tools, mergers and acquisitions costs can be directly offset income tax, their income tax deduction generally after 1% to 2% , and the income tax for mainland companies is 15%.

The Chip Enterprise Vice president also said, "Our tax is the other people's 7 times times, these true gold and silver are the enterprise innovation blood, our blood is insufficient, how to innovate the development?" Talk about catching up with the world's giants? ”

At the same time, the existing tax policy also caused a large number of enterprises backlog of funds. Chuang, vice president of RDA Microelectronics (Shanghai), said, "China's export tax rebate cycle is half a year, tens of millions of of the long-term pressure on the capital there can not move, and foreign export tax rebate cycle is generally shorter than us, the domestic enterprise capital strength is not strong enough, tens of millions of of the capital of the development of enterprises is very large. ”

He also said that China's personal income tax system has become a constraint on the introduction of high-end talent barriers. "If your income is to pay 40% of the personal income tax in China, only 15% in the United States, will you come to work in China?" ”

In addition to tax issues, financing is also a major development of enterprises facing a difficult problem. RDA and other enterprises reflect that most domestic enterprises are still young, in accordance with the relevant policies, it is difficult to market in China, the lack of the basis of hematopoiesis. The current tax burden and financing channel problems directly hinder the innovation and development of enterprises.

Foreign companies crackdown on takeover by hostile takeovers

"He did not want you to take the bud, you have the independent technology, in the industrialization of the lack of money when he will find a way to buy you, before the United States Qualcomm has been trying to acquire China's leading enterprises, we are a lot of enterprises are vigorously supported by the foreign companies to buy too bad. ”

"Economic reference newspaper" reporter investigation found that the development of China's network of core equipment enterprises are suffering from the overall encirclement and suppression of foreign companies, which mainly involves direct market repression, intellectual property, malicious acquisition of three aspects.

First, the use of market dominance of domestic enterprises to suppress. The head of a chip business, who declined to be named, said, "Foreign companies on the domestic chip companies are very overbearing, in the Chinese market, he and our customers are common, they use their monopoly in the chip market to threaten customers, if the use of domestic enterprises chip, on the price, break goods, not to provide quality services and so on, So that our customers do not dare to use our products. ”

Second, the intellectual property right encirclement and suppression. Chuang said that the domestic core equipment enterprises have developed to now, foreign companies began to use the advantages of intellectual property to the encirclement and suppression. On the one hand, as long as we have a new product listed, foreign companies will sue alleged infringement of his patent, so the former Ericsson Sue Cool, Nokia sued the news, said Chinese companies violated their patents, on the other hand, foreign companies to use their intellectual property accumulation, the domestic enterprises to charge high royalties, For example, royalties should have been based on the price of chips, while the United States Qualcomm use of intellectual property advantages, forced to charge the price of the machine, most of the profits of enterprises were taken away.

Third, malicious takeover mergers. Dawn Information Industry Co., Ltd. President Lichun said, in addition to the use of the market, intellectual property advantages of repression, in recent years, foreign enterprises in China has just limelight, but also the independent technology of mergers and acquisitions is very common. "He did not want you to take the bud, you have the independent technology, in the industrialization of the lack of money when he will find a way to buy you, before the United States Qualcomm has been trying to acquire China's leading enterprises, we are a lot of enterprises are vigorously supported by the foreign companies to buy too bad. ”

A number of domestic enterprises responsible for the development of our own core equipment enterprises to the present, it is to be bigger and stronger when the foreign companies will use their advantages from these three aspects of a full range of "encirclement and suppression", is generally "first cut blood, and then acquired."

In foreign countries, and become a government procurement of "abandoned"

Our independent design of the financial IC card chip has also been with foreign enterprises like the technical certification, but the domestic banks are not recognized, do not purchase, but to a large number of procurement of foreign products.

A number of domestic enterprises reflect that other countries are open to their domestic enterprises market protection, priority to purchase their products, crowding out other countries, while China still gives foreign companies "supranational treatment", refused to purchase independent products, leading to domestic enterprises "local advantage" can not play.

National Technology Co., Ltd. President Sun Tongtong said that after seven or eight years of research and development and introduction of technology, most of our products in the technical aspects are no more backward than foreign products. "Our independent design of the financial IC card chip has also been with foreign enterprises like the technical certification, but the domestic banks are not recognized, do not purchase, but to buy a large number of foreign products, At present, China's existing 590 million financial IC card chips are foreign to the same enterprise, not only affect the healthy development of China's chip industry, but also to China's financial information security caused a lot of hidden dangers. ”

An integrated circuit enterprise in Shanghai told reporters, "the establishment of a company in Korea, he will first assess his company and your gap, and then the corresponding market protection, they have a priority to purchase their own products are clear rules, and we do not have similar domestic advantages." For example, a recent Korean Samsung company to Shaanxi Xi ' an plant, directly declared not to purchase all equipment in China. Our products are sold to foreign countries, they refuse to buy to protect their own industries, and now Samsung to build factories in China, why not ask them to give priority to purchase our products? ”

"We always insist on fair competition, but we are very difficult abroad." Changking, vice president of ZTE Corp., said other countries did not want Chinese companies to be strong, and that Huawei and ZTE had been driven out of the U.S. market by the US government on trumped-up charges. In addition, Qualcomm saw the growing strength of Chinese companies, directly to the United States government complaints, the exhibition, RDA and other Chinese companies, such as value-added tax concessions directly withdrawn.

Changking, Sun Tongtong and other business owners said that the facts have proved that foreign enterprises are protected by the government, why can we not openly be supported by the government? Our products are not technically lagging behind, why do the relevant government departments can not encourage the priority to purchase our products? We are not advocating the country playing "independent innovation" under the banner of protecting backward enterprises, just want to and foreign companies in the same starting line competition.
