A top Dutch technical university that is a key feeder for ASML Holding NV talent has been caught in the crosshairs of the US-China chip war as Washington seeks to limit Beijing’s ability to produce semiconductors.
Reminds me of the tiktok congressional hearing where congressman repeatedly kept questioning the Singaporean CEO if he was Chinese despite the CEO continuously reminding them that he was from Singapore.
They heard him and knew the difference; they simply wanted emphasize China in the decision and Biden agreed with them
It's because China is investing in training new generations of scientists and engineers. And yes, some day they'll probably have some groundbreaking tech like whatever comes after EUV lithography, and the US will be kicking itself for obstructing collaboration
When that time comes, hopefully the Chinese government won't be as obstinate as the US is now (a very low bar to pass)
