the ministry of commerce spokesperson answered questions from reporters on the issue of dutch semiconductor export control

q: on september 6, the netherlands announced that it would expand the scope of control over lithography machines. what is china's comment?

a: china has noted the relevant situation. recently, china and the netherlands have conducted multi-level and multi-frequency communication and consultation on the issue of semiconductor export control. on the basis of the 2023 semiconductor export control measures, the netherlands has further expanded the scope of control on lithography machines, and china is dissatisfied with this. in recent years, in order to maintain its global hegemony, the united states has continuously generalized the concept of national security and coerced individual countries to tighten semiconductor and equipment export control measures, which seriously threatens the stability of the global semiconductor industry chain and supply chain and seriously damages the legitimate rights and interests of relevant countries and enterprises. china firmly opposes this.

the netherlands should, based on maintaining international economic and trade rules and the overall situation of china-netherlands economic and trade cooperation, respect market principles and the spirit of contract, avoid relevant measures that hinder the normal cooperation and development of the two countries' semiconductor industries, not abuse export control measures, and effectively safeguard the common interests of chinese and dutch companies and both sides, and maintain the stability of the global semiconductor industry chain and supply chain.
