@ 2023/03/10Now the Dutch are surrendering to US
The Dutch government confirmed for the first time it will impose new export controls on microchips manufacturing equipment on China.
It seems that the Dutch are bowing to US pressure and "reached an agreement" to bring in the export restrictions in January. The deal, which included Japan, involves the only three countries that are home to manufacturers of advanced machines to print microchips.
Foreign Trade Minister Liesje Schreinemacher wrote in a letter to Dutch lawmakers that the government wants to prevent Dutch technology from being used in military systems or weapons of mass destruction.
