Chinese chip maker SMIC's US$3 billion Shanghai listing is a hedge to reduce company's reliance on US technology
　　中国芯片制造商中芯国际拟在上海证券交易所科创板上市，募资30亿美元，以减少对美国技术的依赖
　　Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC) is planning a Shanghai share sale that could fetch billions of dollars for a Chinese chip maker Beijing's counting on to help reduce reliance on US technology.
　　中芯国际(SMIC)计划在上海证券交易所科创板上市，此举或为这家中国芯片制造商募集数十亿美元的资金。北京指望该企业帮助减少对美国技术的依赖。
　　The Hong Kong-listed company known as SMIC surged 11 per cent, the most in more than two years, after its board approved plans to float as many as 1.69 billion new shares on a Shanghai market created to host fast-growing enterprises. It could end up raising more than US$3 billion based on its closing value of more than US$11 billion.
　　中芯国际(SMIC)为香港上市公司，中芯国际董事会批准了在上海科创板发行不超过16.86亿股人民币股份的消息后，其港股股价飙升11%，创下两年多来的最大涨幅。以其110多亿美元的收盘价计算，该公司最终可能会筹集到30多亿美元的资金。
　　SMIC is one of several chip companies that embody Beijing's hope of creating a self-reliant and world-class semiconductor industry. It plans to use the proceeds to develop next-generation chipmaking to try and compete with Intel and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC). That effort comes at a time the Trump administration may tighten restrictions on the sale of technology to China, threatening to deny domestic companies like SMIC or Huawei Technologies access to crucial components and circuitry.
　　北京方面希望打造一个自力更生、世界级的半导体产业，中芯国际是其寄予厚望的芯片公司之一。该公司计划利用这笔资金开发下一代芯片，与英特尔(Intel)和台积电(TSMC)展开竞争。此举公布之际，特朗普政府或收紧对向中国出售技术的限制，威胁禁止向中芯国际或华为等中国企业出售关键组件和电路。

　　SMIC"s decision moves the tech giant closer to its roots, following its voluntary delisting of American depositary shares from New York last year. Its envisioned listing is a boost for the Sci-Tech Innovation Board " better known as the STAR market " which has struggled to attract major technology companies since its launch last year. The offering could raise some US$3.2 billion and add to an existing cash pile of about US$2.2 billion, according to Sanford C. Bernstein analysts Mark Li, Wang Hanxu and Edward Hou.
　　去年，中芯国际自愿从美国退市。该公司的上市计划将提振被称为“明星市场”的科创板，至去年开板以来，该板块一直难以吸引大型科技公司。据Sanford C. Bernstein的分析师表示，此次中芯国际IPO或能筹集约32亿美元资金，在现有的约22亿美元现金上再添一大笔。
　　It aims to pour new funds into research and deepen its capability in 12-inch wafers, helping it better compete with far larger rival TSMC, especially as Washington considers constraints against the Taiwanese company as well.
　　中芯国际计划向研发投入资金，提升12英寸芯片的生产能力，助其更好地与规模大得多的竞争对手台积电展开竞争，尤其是在华盛顿方面也在考虑对台积电施加限制之际。
　　Like TSMC, SMIC is a so-called foundry that helps fabricate silicon based on other companies' designs. It currently competes against its bigger rival in nodes larger than 14 nanometres, a technology widely used in processors for smartphones and servers. But it lags behind in more advanced technologies that customers from Apple to Huawei crave.
　　与台积电一样，中芯国际是一家代工企业，根据其他公司的设计帮其生产硅。目前，它与台积电在14纳米芯片上相互竞争，这种技术广泛应用于智能手机和服务器的处理器中。但在苹果、华为等客户渴望的更先进技术方面，该公司却落后了。

　　Whatever U.S. banned, China made their owns.
　　Thanks to Trump for free advertising for Huawei, and pushing other Chinese tech companies to invest heavily in R & D.
　　美国禁售什么，中国就自己造什么。
　　感谢特朗普免费为华为打广告，并推动其他中国科技公司大举投资研发。

　　the u.s. ban on selling to huawei will simply force china to develop their own hi tech industry faster...
　　美国对华为的禁令只会促使中国更快地发展本土高科技产业。

　　trump chose bullying. China has no option but to create its own products. And it has the money and the resources to do it.
　　特朗普欺人太甚。中国别无选择，只能自己造，而且人家有资金，有资源。
　　ding
　　We stopped investing in R&D on many fronts decades ago. The American dominance has left the country complacent which is understandable. But now the Chinese will leapfrog us on many sectors.
　　在许多领域，我们几十年前就不投资研发了。处于主导地位的美国变得自满了，现在中国会在许多领域超越我们。

　　China will switch from buying from US chip makers to making its own chips. That's what trade war gets you. China add oil!
　　中国将从购买美国芯片转向自主生产芯片。这就是贸易战带来的后果。中国加油!

　　Probably in 5 to 10 years, the US go nment will force Chinese companies to use US components in order for their tech products to be sold in the US.
　　或许在5-10年后，美国政府将迫使那些想要把产品销往美国的中国企业使用美国零部件

　　US will start making own groceries and China will start making own chips....is this what we are looking for?
　　美国将开始生产杂七杂八的玩意，而中国将开始生产高科技的芯片，这就是我们想要的吗?

　　SMIC is trying to catch up with TSMC, a Taiwan semiconductor company. Money doesn't buy everything, especially the endless creativity.
　　中芯国际正努力追赶台积电(TSMC)。但金钱并不能买到一切，尤其是无穷无尽的创造力，更是花钱也买不到的。

　　We hope iPhone made in US for years but the greedy cooperates only wants more profits for their own. The top politicians allow this because they get the share profits too.
　　我们都希望iPhone能在美国生产，但贪婪的企业追求更大的利润，所以去海外生产。高层政治家们之所以允许他们这么做，是因为他们也能从中分一杯羹。

　　"America First" meant America not needed by others. There are unintended consequences to WH decisions to stop US technology being used by Chinese Companies.
　　“美国优先”意味着其他国家不再需要美国。不让中国企业使用美国技术的决定，产生了意想不到的后果啊。

　　Now they are confident because they have been stealing our technology for years. In time they will start kicking out our companies from China because they are no longer useful to them and they already have stolen so much trade and technological secrets. Now we should not be surprised when they start challenging us.
　　现在他们有信心了。
　　多年来，他们一直在窃取我们的技术。假以时日，美国公司没有利用价值后，他们会把美国公司赶出他们国家。哪天他们要是挑衅我们，我不会觉得惊讶。
