The United States, which has always wanted to suppress China, did not expect the situation to reverse, in the field of chip technology, the United States will not give China a chance to rest, and it is a "protracted war" that has been stuck in China's neck, not only the United States, but also other European countries, as well as South Korea, Japan, etc., in order to put China into a dead end.
ASML's lithography machine
The global giant ASML company, famous for its lithography machine, may not have expected that this time the United States caused a big trouble, not only implicated a lot of companies, many countries as a foil, taking South Korea and Japan as an example, accompanied by the United States "time-consuming" The final chess piece became abandoned, South Korea and Japan's chip production capacity and technology plummeted, this is the end of getting too close to the United States, the United States adheres to the attitude and style of doing things that are not better than me to dominate the world, but the United States also knows that it has provoked a lot of "enemies" Even ASML, which is not used to the American style of doing things.
In 2023, the mainland has brought more than a little benefit to ASML, becoming ASML's largest buyer, who knows that in terms of delivery and after-sales issues, it has been curbed by the United States one after another, and has wanted to meddle in this matter three times and twice, not to mention anything else, the only thing ASML can't do is that the United States is the majority shareholder of their company, and naturally has the right to speak, and it is impossible to offend the United States, so it has been maneuvering, not wanting to lose China, a big financier, and not wanting to be at the mercy of the United States, ASML seemed a little helpless in this matter.
I don't want to be at the mercy of beauty anymore
Later, at the strong request of the United States, ASML and the congressmen sent by the United States began to negotiate on the issue of providing lithography machines to China after sales, and there was no news for many days. ASML not only has a very tough attitude, but when Rutte visited China, he also said that he was not targeting a certain country, and his words and deeds were actually for the sake of ASML's changes, and he did not stand on the side of the United States or ASML, and said a very pertinent word.
He also said this to suppress ASML's "restlessness" The reason is also very simple, because the Netherlands can't protect ASML, everything is up to the United States, next time if the United States can't get used to other countries and decides to let ASML not give the lithography machine to others, wouldn't it make ASML's losses reach a new high, ASML's top management is not stupid, the most important thing in business is profit, the Netherlands wants to support the United States, and ASML doesn't want to be an appendage of the Netherlands.
Many high-level and scientific research and technical personnel come from all over the country, and it is impossible for ASML to ruin its future because of a sentence from a major shareholder, and for this reason, many employees of ASML are sober.
So judging from this matter, the United States can't persuade ASML, and it can't care which country ASML wants to cooperate with, and some foreign media say: The overall situation of the lithography machine has been decided, and it is no longer under the control of the United States.
The United States' obstruction will not only not help the United States better, but will make the United States' bad deeds criticized by everyone, not to mention that ASML will obediently listen to the United States and not cooperate with China, and ASML will continue to cooperate with China after the heat has passed.
