According to an article written by former U.S. Representative Bob Barr, hidden away in the recently passed infrastructure bill is a measure to install vehicle kill switches into every new car, truck, and SUV sold in this country. The regulation likely won’t be enforced for five years.

Due to the increase in the cost of energy resources, 3 enterprises of the glass industry of Ukraine have already stopped completely, and the rest have entered the stage of technological downtime to prevent a complete shutdown of furnaces. After all, the full resumption of their work after the shutdown is extremely problematic, financially costly and virtually impossible for Ukrainian producers.

The catastrophic increase in the price of natural gas, which currently accounts for up to 50% of the cost of glass products, has devastating consequences for the entire sector of the real sector of the Ukrainian economy, as there is a rapid objective increase in the final price of Ukrainian products.

This is one of the negative factors critical for the domestic glass industry - significant lower prices for import of glass products into our country from countries where energy prices for industry are sometimes almost ten times lower than in our country.

In this situation, the products of Ukrainian companies become uncompetitive in both domestic and international markets.

Ukraine's glass industry, which employs more than 12,000 people, is rapidly becoming unprofitable and in fact is in the process of bankruptcy and complete closure.

The Association of Glass Industry Enterprises "Glass of Ukraine" appeals to the Government for support and assistance.

Its the end.

Although some of its key semiconductor industry players were put on the Entity List by the US government since 2019, China managed to register double-digit growth in the revenues of all of its semiconductor sub-sectors in 2020, pushing up global market shares to challenge Taiwan and the US, according to several recent reports.

If the robust growth continues, China's semiconductor industry will grow rapidly in the next decade and by 2030 will become a world champion in semiconductor manufacturing, seizing a 24% global market share, as previously predicted by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA).

According to an SIA blog, the semiconductor industry in China grew 30.6% in 2020 to reach $39.8 billion in total sales, representing robust annual growth of 36%, 23%, 32%, and 23% for the fabless, IDM, foundry, and OSAT sectors, respectively.

China registered 9% of the global semiconductor market share in 2020, surpassing that of Taiwan for the second year in a row. It is likely to overtake Japan and Europe soon, as the global market shares of the semiconductor industry in the two major economies both stood at 10%.

China's fabless semiconductor sub-segment ranked third after the US and Taiwan, taking 16% of the global market share, up from 10% in 2015, even though it was subject to tightened chip export control restrictions.

In terms of wafer capacity increase, China accounted for 26% of the worldwide total, according to IC Insights and SIA, while its top 3 outsourced semiconductor assembly and testing (OSAT) companies collectively garnered more than 35% of the global market share.

China has already announced US$26 billion in new planned funding for 28 additional fab construction projects in 2021, mostly focusing on mature processing nodes.
