If China develops a competitor for ASML, its literally JOEVER for the west lol. And sanctioning this particular field would incentivize china to do exactly that 😂
- friendly countries trade semiconductor tech to China of their own volition
- this is bad and they need to be punished
The best part is that they can’t even frame this as China overstepping or coercing them into doing it.
The joys of being a vassal of the empire. Netherlands and Japan now seeing their high tech industry be destroyed in order to serve US interests. As Kissinger so aptly put it, it may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.
Maybe they’ll grow some balls and tell the US to GTFO (whishful thinking).
Japan and Netherlands joining BRICS in 2025 or 26?
lol
