1. The US CNBC website revealed that the US was lobbying the Dutch government to prohibit ASML from selling some old lithography machines to China, but the company never agreed to this request. In the face of unreasonable pressure from the United States, why does ASML have the courage to say no to Washington? Why did the lithography machine giant ASML's orders sharply decrease in the third quarter? It is all due to the influence of the US export ban on China.
2. While Silicon Valley stopped exporting 28nm lithography machines to China, some academicians said that it was high time to pay attention to this! On the other hand, the Dutch Prime Minister also called for: China should not be isolated! The lobbying behavior of the US side has caused a serious blow to many industries. In this case, Asme, a Dutch lithography machine manufacturer, will make the above response. ASML circumvented the US ban and sold the lithography machine to China, which is supposed to be a real confidence, but some insiders have also raised different opinions: this is a false confidence.
3. The Netherlands only needs to make a noise and continue to export the DUV lithography machine that could have been exported to China. If ASML really has confidence and says no to Washington, First, deliver the EUV lithography machine that China ordered earlier and should have delivered in 2019 to produce chips of 7nm and below. Why is it still in the state of not obtaining the relevant export license?
4. But in addition, the Prime Minister of the Netherlands made a clear statement. Prime Minister Rutte said that it is not a smart move to implement import control on China. The EU should not isolate China, but should formulate its own policies towards China. It seems that the United States has become increasingly unpopular.
