Netherlands Blocks ASML Exports of Chip-Making Equipment to China

Netherlands has actually obstructed chip-equipment maker ASML’s exports to China of some lithography systems, which are necessary to making sophisticated microprocessors, in a partial license cancellation following U.S. export constraints.

The Netherlands-based business stated Monday that the Dutch federal government just recently partly withdrawed an export license for delivering the NXT:2050 i and NXT:2100 i lithography systems to China in 2023.
