Reply to comment by pretendperson in U.S. plans new limits on tech sent to Chinese firms by WallStreetDoesntBet

You mean without ASML.

It's a global economy, they buy whatever they need from whoever makes it.

The US doesn't have an EUV company.

The Dutch do.

I do mean ASML for the photolithography equipment, installation, and maintenance. ASML does a LOT of business with US corporations and the US government and will be bound by the same rules.

And the Dutch don't control the lion's share of advanced EUV fabs; the US does.

The US is trying to influence ASML to restrict sales of equipment to China.

A) Good luck with that.

B) Bad idea.

C) The irony that Donald Trump was the first one to start railing against China, got shelled for it, and yet today, China bashing is okay. What kind of fucked up foreign/economic policy does the US have?

D) Lion's share of advanced EUV fabs...well, yes, you're right, US customers dominate the order book. But that can change. $$$ talks.
