The United States is shooting itself in the foot, thinking of using the technological blockade to pull one another, but in the end it has brought a lot of anger to itself. ASML CEO Peter Wennink said "no", which directly made the small abacus on the American side click, and his face couldn't hang up.
In other words, there was a smell of gunpowder from the beginning. The beautiful old guys thought, if we can't do it directly, then we should use our mouths and let the Dutch ASML company stop the maintenance of China's lithography machine, isn't this just slaughtering people's necks? As a result, the style of painting changed, and Peter Wennink was like filming a reversal drama, "Why should we stop, there is no reason!" As soon as the words fell, this is good, the bitterness in the heart of the United States is like eating a yellow lotus.
If you want to talk about this lithography machine, then you have to look at it as a star chef in a chip factory, and all high-end food (chips) are presented by its craftsmanship. This ASML lithography machine, especially the EUV, which is the "Michelin" of the chef, is high in price, and a small part is broken, which is the same as the chip factory saying stop and stop, which is not an exaggeration at all.
From this point of view, if ASML really follows the rhythm of the United States and stops its maintenance services to China, it will be tantamount to cutting a knife in his own foot and throwing hundreds of millions of dollars out to change decorations?
And Peter Winnink's stance this time may be a big game of chess. It is not that he is blind to the big stick strategy of the United States, but he can see the weight of the Chinese market more clearly. After all, this market is a big cake for any business aspiring to expand its business globally.
This choice also filled Asml with mixed emotions. On the one hand, they have to deal with this "delicate relationship" with the United States, after all, no one wants to offend either side, and on the other hand, they stick to their own business bottom line and global strategy.
This melon is really sweet and spicy, and if you want to say that this global science and technology competition is really better than variety shows. ASML's knife is not only for the sincerity of the Chinese market, but also like shouting that technology knows no borders, but business has principles.
This time, the United States cracked its small abacus and hurt itself. I don't know what they think, do they have to go back and sit in a good row and adjust the strategy? Anyway, we still have to watch the big show, let's continue to hold the melon and watch the big scenery.
