Netherlands pushes back against US bill restricting chip equipment sales to China
By
Connie Loizos
Summary
Dutch Trade Minister Sjoerd Sjoerdsma visited Washington to oppose the MATCH Act, a US bill that would bar Chinese chipmakers from accessing Western semiconductor equipment. The legislation would particularly impact ASML, the Dutch company that is Europe's most valuable firm and the sole global manufacturer of lithography machines essential for cutting-edge AI chip production. The bill would restrict sales of older-generation deep ultraviolet tools that China currently can purchase.
