Chuanmei will increase pressure to prevent the Dutch from exporting to China to manufa

(Bloomberg, Washington) The United States and the Netherlands are expected to hold a new round of consultation this month. Washington is reportedly increased to prevent the Dutch semiconductor equipment manufacturer of Asmore (ASML) selling manufacturing chips to ChinaEquipment to limit China to obtain advanced chip technology.

According to Bloomberg, people familiar with the matter revealed that the US National Security Council senior official Tarun Chhabra and Deputy Minister of Commerce Alan Estevez, deputy minister of the Ministry of Commerce, will go to the Netherlands to participate in consultations.

The United States has been putting pressure on the Dutch government, asking Acemi to stop the production equipment with a wide range of chip sales in China. The two parties will discuss the control of the export of chip this time.

However, people familiar with the matter predict that a new round of consultations will not reach an agreement.One of them said that the interview was part of the bilateral negotiations between the two parties. The two countries would also discuss other issues of the USheA technology partnership relationship.

The U.S. government introduced new measures in early October this year to severely control the export of advanced chips to China.

A new round of consultations by officials in U.S. Hangs show that the Biden government will continue to persuade allies to observe its export control to ensure that the Chinese military cannot obtain the most advanced technology.

ASML is a chip equipment giant, and the optical machine it manufactured is the key to the production process of advanced chips.U.S. officials have stated that if the allies do not join, the latest round of export restrictions will fail over time.

At present, ASML has been unable to sell to China to manufacture advanced chips, which are extremely ultraviolet light machines, but it can continue to sell other products to Chinese customers and be less influenced by the new US export control than their peers.

The United States hopes that export control scope can be expanded to more mature technology.

Bloomberg reported in July this year that U.S. officials are lobbying that the Dutch officials ban ASML from selling some old deep ultraviolet lithography machines.

These machines are one generation behind advanced technologies, but they are still the most commonly used devices to make some non -advanced chips required by cars, mobile phones, computers, and even robots.
