Washington is trying to keep chipmaking equipment from China that could modernise its military.
WASHINGTON - A US official was headed to Japan after meeting with the Dutch government in an effort to push allies to further crack down on China's ability to produce cutting-edge semiconductors, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters on June 18.
The US first imposed sweeping restrictions in 2022 on shipments of advanced chips and chipmaking equipment to China from the likes of California-based Nvidia and Lam Research. Then the Dutch government began to regulate Netherlands-based ASML's deep ultra violet semiconductor equipment to China and the U.S. imposed restrictions on additional DUV machines to a handful of Chinese factories, claiming jurisdiction because ASML's systems contain US parts and components. ASML is the world's top chip equipment maker.
