(Correspondent: Ma Yuankai, Yang Huike) During the Spring Festival in 2020, the unexpected COVID-19 outbreak struck Chinese economy and society severely, and“lockdown”,“prolongation”and“suspension of business”became the hot words for a time. In case that the entire country faced the production trouble, how the chip industry withpowerful nation of science and technologyas missionbroke throughthe“epidemic”influence and continued good development became an important mission. Zhou Xiaoyang, a Professor in School of Economics and Management of Xidian University and the president ofGuangdongXinjuneng Semiconductor Co., Ltd., and Wang Shouchun, theHonorary Presidentof the School and the Director of theForecastingScience Research Center ofChinese Academy of Sciences, carried out the joint research with a title of“Analysis and Countermeasures for the COVID-19 Influence on the Whole Industry Chain of Chips”, analyzed the influence of this epidemic on the chip industry of China and provided the copying strategies in the context of both the fight against epidemic and trade friction.

We must hold the“key”–the independent innovation of core technology tightly, which is an important instruction of General Secretary Xi Jinping in theNational Scientificand TechnologicalInnovation Conference. In this fight against COVID-19, the chip industry becomes one important force providing indispensabletechnicalsupport for the epidemic monitoring and protection, testing and examination, and treatment.Infrared body temperature detector, infrared imaging monitoring and thermometer, biochip shortening the detection time of virus samples, “cloud supervisor” of Huoshenshan and Leishenshan hospitals and intelligent medical equipment… these technical terms in the process of this epidemic prevention and control are closely related to the chip industry. Even the technology of real-time tracking of epidemic situation by virtue of information technology cannot be achieved without guarantee from the communication chip. Development of the chip industry is not only necessary for the current epidemic prevention and control, but also the “key” of national independent innovation concerning the overall development.
During the epidemic prevention and control,XDUfaculty and staff activelyandvoluntarily joined inthe strongforce against“epidemic” and helped each other in their respectiveposts.Combined withherprofessional knowledge,Professor Zhou Xiaoyangfullyexertedherown advantages, and undertookthe responsibility of economic and social developmentin this special periodtocontributeherwisdom and strength to the development of national core science and technology industry,whichshowed herstrong patriotic feelings.Economic Daily is a party newspaper directly under the central management and sponsored by the State Council, which is an important public opinion position for the Party Central Committee and the State Council to guide the national economic works, and also an important window for the countries to know the trend of China's economic development.

As the winter is over and spring comes early, the flowers will bloom just like the new life and hope.TheSchool ofEconomics andManagement of XidianUniversity willcarry oncontributingits wisdom and strength to the victory offight against“epidemic” under the strong lead of the party as always.The chip, semiconductor and electronic manufacturing industriesare themajorindustriesofXidianUniversity. The university willassistthe development of China’s chip industry byvirtue ofcultivating more excellent talents and producing more high-quality achievements, so as to contribute to the realization of China’s powerfulnationofscience and technology and untiringly strugglefora higher quality of life for the multitude.Everything in China will surely be fresh again as the flush of dawn shines the vast land of China!
