The United States and the Netherlands are set to deliver a one-two punch to China's chipmakers this summer by further restricting sales of chipmaking equipment.
While the Dutch are planning to curb certain equipment from national champion ASML, and other companies, the US is expected to go one step further and use its long reach to withhold even more Dutch equipment from specific Chinese fabs. Chinese Embassy spokesperson Liu Pengyu in Washington decried the move and said the US"has deliberately blockaded and hobbled Chinese companies and forcibly relocated industries and pushed for decoupling," and said China would"closely follow the developments and firmly safeguard our own interests."
ASML's most sophisticated machines - extreme ultraviolent"EUV" lithography machines - are already restricted, and have never been shipped to China. The new Dutch regulations will not take effect immediately, sources said, with one person expecting the effective date to be September, two months after publication.
It is not unusual for the US to modify proposals before clearing regulations, so both the timing and the restrictions could change. The plan described reflects thinking in late June.
