This is not the first time Japanese companies are collaborating in such a way. A similar effort launched a few years ago involving Hitachi, NEC and Mitsubishi went nowhere.

For instance, the intellectual property for the complex architecture that underpins modern chips is in the possession of UK-based firms such as ARM, while Dutch company ASML is the leader in photolithography equipment.
Why can't countries like Japan, Korea,think independently on making chips, why they rely on Western companies,why should the oldest country like Japan also needs to depend on them,I think America want grip&ctrl on every, So SMIC or Huawei is making it impossible for US Huawei
