Alan Estevez, the U.S. export policy chief, is scheduled to meet in the Netherlands next Monday with officials from the Dutch government and ASML Holding NV to discuss the servicing contracts
President Joe Biden’s administration plans to press the Netherlands next week to stop its top chipmaking equipment maker ASML from servicing some tools in China , two people familiar with the matter said, as the U.S. leans on allies in its bid to hobble Beijing ’s tech sector.
The Dutch Foreign Ministry confirmed the upcoming meeting but did not elaborate on which topics would be on the agenda. Last year, sanctioned Chinese telecoms giant Huawei shocked the world with a new phone powered by a sophisticated chip. The Huawei Mate 60 Pro was seen as a symbol of the China’s technological resurgence despite Washington’s ongoing efforts to cripple its capacity to produce advanced semiconductors.
Last year, Japan and the Netherlands joined a U.S. effort to keep certain chipmaking technology from China for national security reasons. The Dutch government began restricting certain deep ultraviolet equipment for Chinese customers and partially revoked one license, impacting a small number of customers in China, according to ASML.
