Dutch foreign trade minister
[English translation] “We do something like that only on our own terms.” [...] “The U.S. can’t force us.” [...] “The Netherlands will not copy the American measures one-to-one. We make our own assessment — and we do that in consultation with partner countries such as Japan and the U.S.” [...] “We want to maintain technological leadership, prevent strategic dependencies, and prevent unwanted use of technology.”

Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote is relevant. In the source, Schreinemacher is discussing whether the Netherlands, alongside the U.S. and Japan, should tighten semiconductor-related export restrictions to China; she says the Dutch position will be made in consultation with partner countries and later says she would prefer to do this in a European framework. That is directly about democratic coordination of chip export controls to China, and it gives enough signal that her stance on the broader statement is determinable, even though she insists on Dutch conditions rather than copying U.S. rules one-for-one.

AI Verified The quote and source context point to support for coordination, not to rejecting it: she says the Netherlands will make its own assessment "in consultation with partner countries such as Japan and the U.S.," and adds she would prefer to do this "in European context." That implies backing coordinated democratic export controls on advanced chips/semiconductor technology to China, while insisting they be on Dutch terms rather than copied one-to-one from Washington.
