Netherlands to restrict some chip tech exports

1 year, 9 months ago

TLDR: The Dutch government has followed the US in placing restrictions on exports of the country’s “most advanced” microchip technology to safeguard national security. Dutch chip equipment manufacturer ASML is a key supplier to the global microchip market, and the restrictions have prompted a formal complaint from China. China has accused the Netherlands of following the “abuse of export control measures by certain countries” which it said was intended to deprive China of its right to develop. Semiconductor manufacture has been a major point of contention between the US and China, with the latter objecting to US export controls.
