Not long ago, China and the United States jointly issued the "17 August" communique, in which the two countries reached a compromise on the most sensitive Taiwan-Taiwan issue, and the last piece of momentum hindering Sino-US relations has been removed.

After the United States revised the Export Administration Act in 1979, it still divided all countries except Canada into seven groups, of which China was one of the 32 key export control countries specifically mentioned. As early as after the Korean War, China has been in Group Z (comprehensive embargo) in US export control measures. It was not until after Nixon's visit to China that the United States separated China from Group Z and placed it in Group Y, which was treated on an equal footing with the socialist countries of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union (non-strategic goods were allowed to be exported).

After President Reagan took office, Sino-US relations continued to ease, so the White House gave China a "double" policy, that is, the technology and products allowed to be exported to China could be twice as high as those exported to the Soviet Union, and at the same time simplified the export approval process.

In the past two years, China and the United States have been engaged in fierce wrestling over the Taiwan-Taiwan issue. The United States has used the relaxation of export restrictions to China as one of the cards to exert pressure on the Chinese government in an attempt to force China to make concessions on US arms sales to Taiwan. Now that China and the United States have clearly expounded on the issue of arms sales to Taiwan in the "17 August" communique, it is no longer meaningful to continue to strictly restrict exports to China.

Some people have already raised the hope that China will be given "friendly non-ally treatment". That is, China is placed in Group V on the same basis as Western countries and neutral countries. The easing of export restrictions to China is exactly what the US business community expects, and many US companies are dazzled by China's huge population base, believing that it is a market with huge potential.

Boeing, IBM and other enterprises. A strong lobbying team has been organized. Because they now export cutting-edge civilian products such as jets and high-performance computers to China, and they also have to go through a cumbersome vetting process. This dramatically increases the additional costs for the business.

According to the analysis of the Eastern Institute of Economics, under strong pressure from the American business community. It is already an inevitable trend for the United States to relax its restrictions on China. It is precisely because of this judgment that Li Xuan feels that the time is finally ripe for large-scale cooperation with the mainland.

But cooperation with the mainland in the 80s was not something that could be achieved overnight, and Chinese officials today are generally wary of foreign investment, despite their desire for foreign investment. Unlike the officials after the nineties, it was completely kneeling and licking rhythm, and he couldn't wait to take out his heart and liver to his foreign father.

Now, if you seem to be too proactive, people will wonder if you have other schemes. Therefore, Li Xuan first made a statement as soon as he came up, revealing that he was not very optimistic about the mainland market. Because there is not much oil and water here. So even in this case, if Li Xuan is still willing to cooperate, it shows that he is completely looking at the face of good relations with the mainland government, and you need to understand this situation.

And what Li Xuan said next was completely from the perspective of considering the other party: "Secretary Zhao, Mayor Wang, in my opinion, Huhai City actually has its own unique advantages. In addition to having a strong industrial base, Huhai has the largest number of universities outside the capital Beijing.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and in my opinion, this is not an empty phrase. For example, China spends a lot of foreign exchange every year to import personal computers, many of which are ABC-3 computers produced by Aikang. As early as last year, Aikang Company had disclosed the technical information of the ABC-3 computer. The relevant enterprises in Huhai can develop their own compatible machines to replace the ABC-3 computer according to the technical information disclosed by Aikang. Even if the key parts cannot be made in China, imported parts are always cheaper than imported complete machines!"

Li Xuan's words were undoubtedly very considerate. The domestic market sells 1,000 computers every year. Li Xuan and Ai Kang will not be in their eyes. Since the Oriental Research Institute and the Oriental Application Systems Company have already supported foreign third-party computer companies to develop ABC-3 computer compatible machines, they naturally do not mind cultivating a computer company in China.

Zhao Xiulin and Wang Daohan both stared at Hu Kang, the director of the Instrument Telecommunications Industry Bureau, with burning eyes. Fortunately, Hu Kang made detailed preparations before coming. Otherwise, there are more than a dozen head offices under the bureau, and there are hundreds of second-level state-owned factories. It is simply impossible for him to master them all.

"There are two main computer production enterprises under the jurisdiction of our bureau, namely the Huhai Electronic Computer Factory and the Changjiang Electronic Computer Factory! Among them, the Huhai Factory's main focus at present is on the improvement of the DJS-131 small computer. and the research and development project of DJS-220 medium-sized machine.

After successfully developing the DJS-051 microcomputer in '79, the Changjiang Factory succeeded in developing the ABC-1 computer-compatible machine last year! At present, the Changjiang Factory is developing the Changjiang-2 computer-compatible machine, the ABC-2 computer, which is expected to be available before the end of the year! As for the latest ABC-3 computer, because it is difficult to import the ERM-1 processor, the relevant compatible machine products have not yet been developed for the time being!

The technical patent for the ERM-1 processor is in the hands of Oriental Research Institute, but it has been exclusively licensed to Oriental Semiconductor for manufacturing. Dongfang Semiconductor is a U.S.-registered company, and 16/32-bit processors are on the U.S. government's list of restricted exports. If Dongfang Semiconductor wants to export to the mainland, it must first go through the approval of the US Department of Commerce and even the Department of Defense.

Before, Li Xuan didn't bother to apply in order to prevent thunder. However, in the context of the United States preparing to fully relax export restrictions to China, Li Xuan is sure that he will solve this problem smoothly.

So he happily packed the ticket and said: "We Dongfang Electronics Company will take care of the export of ERM-1 processors! In fact, in addition to being used in personal computers, ERM-1 processors can also be used in the field of communications. More than a year ago, the Oriental Research Institute commissioned the team of Professor Chen of the Beijing-Beijing Institute of Posts and Telecommunications to develop a digital program-controlled telephone exchange project, and now it has achieved phased results. If enterprises in Huhai City are interested, we are willing to give priority to production cooperation with you. ”

As early as when he visited the United States, Chen Junliang had already learned from foreign products and made detailed project plans. After receiving financial and equipment support from the Oriental Research Institute, a scientific research team of 12 people was quickly organized. A group of people put all their energy into coming up with the first prototypes in just eight months. Then, after continuous testing and improvement, the performance of the new product has become more and more stable, and it will soon be finalized. (To be continued......)
