Senior Dutch officials voiced no longer to obey the order of the US order to sell chip

A senior Dutch official said that the Netherlands will defend its economic interests on the issue of chip equipment in China.This statement further explains that it is unwilling to obey the requirements of Washington and participate in the encirclement of Chinese semiconductor technology.

According to Bloomberg, the Dutch Minister of Foreign Trade, Liesje Schreinemacher, told Councilor on Tuesday (22nd) that in negotiations with the US and other allies, the government will sell chips to China in ASML to ChinaMake your own decision on the issue of equipment.

Schriene Mach said: "What is important is that we must defend our own interests, our national security, but we must also defend our economic interests. If we put it in the European Union's basketThe last result is that we have to give the extremely deep ultraviolet light carved machine to the United States, and we are even more miserable. "

Analysis believes that Shi Laeneum's statement seems to show that the Netherlands is increasingly opposed to the requirements of the United States.It is the export control that is consistent with the consistent pressure of Washington.The United States hopes to set an ambition to establish a chip industry in China and improve its military strength, but the Netherlands hopes to maintain its major market position in China.

Last week, the Dutch minister said that the United States should not expect the Congress to unquestionally adopt Washington's measures to restrict exports to China.

ASML Holding NV has dominated the unique cutting -edge chip manufacturing equipment market, which has also become the target of the US government's efforts in curbing China's efforts.U.S. officials have been lobbying that the Dutch officials prohibit ASML from selling some old deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography machines.These machines are one generation behind advanced technologies, but they are still the most commonly used devices for some non -advanced chips required by manufacturing cars, mobile phones, computers, and even robots.

A person familiar with the matter revealed that Tarun Chhabra, senior officials of the National Security Council, and Alan Estevez, deputy minister of the Ministry of Commerce, who are responsible for the Ministry of Commerce, will go to the Netherlands to negotiate, butIt is estimated that the two parties will not reach an agreement immediately.
