Unfounded if you have paid 0 attention the last 20 years maybe.
I feel sorry for the Netherlands here, no matter the side they pick they loss out. America is the big winner here, America will take the lead on chip processing machines and the Netherlands loses their position no matter the outcome over china.
Another good reason for Europe to step up and develop their own geopolitical policies in such matters. On our own we can’t stand against the US or China but with a more unified EU we have some weight.
The Chinese Communist Party can go and fuck a blender.
As if the Dutch are even allowed to go against their American puppet masters.
The US isn’t going to let EUV technologies from ASML go to China in a million years. Plus these are difficult to get as TSMC and others are already lining up to take the small amount of machines produced.
