US export controls to China, and after the giant made a statement, the Dutch Prime Minister: EU should not isolate China. The United States and China are increasingly in the fields of trade and technology. In order to maintain the United States' dominance in the chip field, a series of bills specially issued by the White House restricts the trade in chips and lithography machines, hindering China's progress and development.
But The famous Dutch lithography machine manufacturer clearly stated that the impact of the US ban on the company is minimal, and the Dutch Prime Minister also called on the EU to maintain independence in its policy toward China, and blindly following the United States is not the best choice for European countries.
U.S. export controls to China, and lithography machine giants have stated that
The White House chip ban has officially come into effect. The purpose of the ban is to hinder China from obtaining advanced semiconductor technology. The United States already knows that chip technology is a technical bottleneck facing China. If China makes major breakthroughs in this field, the United States' advantages over China in the field of science and technology will be further reduced.
This time, the manufacturer of lithography machines is also within the banned radiation range. But Dutch chip industry giant Asmay (ASML) made it clear that the impact of US policy on the company is "quite limited." Because ASML is a complete European company, the jurisdiction of the US ban can only be limited to American companies.
In addition, only a small number of parts of the products produced by the company are produced in the United States, and the manufacturers of these parts are not irreplaceable. In other words, ASML will continue to cooperate with China in the future. China is an important market for the company, and they cannot give up their biggest profit points.
Dutch Prime Minister: The EU should not isolate China
After the Dutch enterprise ASML statement, the country's Prime Minister Rutt also expressed his views on the China issue. He believes that the EU should not isolate China. It is the United States' policy to engage in a comprehensive confrontation with China, but this policy does not fully meet the interests of European countries.
The EU and European countries should enhance the independence of their foreign policies. On the chip issue, both ASML and the Dutch government have faced pressure from the United States. Originally, they also made a certain degree of compromise and no longer exported the most advanced lithography machines to China.
However, the US has become more and more aggressive and wants to include low-end models on the list of prohibiting exports to China. This behavior is not only a trampling on international free trade, but also arbitrarily interfering in other people's internal affairs by nakedly using long-arm to govern . More importantly, the US's actions can only protect its own interests, but will cause losses to other countries.
For many "small moves" in the chip field of the United States, , the spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zhao Lijian, made a clear response. He said that under the current globalization background, the United States has repeatedly politicized, instrumented, and ideologically , and implemented "technology blockade" and "technology decoupling" for other countries. This will only make other countries more alert. It will not work if they rely on the United States in technology, and will also prompt countries to accelerate the realization of technological independence, self-reliance and self-reliance. Attempting to block others' paths will eventually only block your own path.
Countries should have a clearer understanding of the current situation and should not continue to follow the United States and act alone. Many examples have proved that the interests of allies are not within the scope of consideration of the United States.
