Comment by Liesje Schreinemacher

[English translation] The Dutch government will not cave under American pressure to drastically restrict the export of ASML’s chip machines to China. “We do something like that only on our own terms,” says Liesje Schreinemacher, the Minister for Foreign Trade. “The U.S. can’t force us.” [English translation] “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.” Unverified source (2022)
