China this time not only to fight, but also to be the other side long memory! the negotiation window has been closed, any exemption request will be ignored. The last few rounds of confrontation has proved that any form of "goodwill" and "restriction", in the eyes of the American West will be interpreted as "weakness can be deceived." Today put him a horse, give him an exemption, he will breathe out tomorrow with more dangerous means to bite you again.
Recently, many people have been talking about lithography machines. Some people may not know how important this thing is. Simply put, without a good lithography machine, advanced chips cannot be made, and daily necessities such as mobile phones and computers will be affected.
We have always wanted to cooperate well with ASML in the Netherlands. After all, they are the main manufacturer of the most advanced lithography machines.
But things have changed over the years, and the United States has been pressuring backwards to prevent ASML from selling us the most advanced light engraving machines.
We have also shown a lot of goodwill before, such as continuing to buy other models of their equipment and importing a lot of other things from the Netherlands, hoping that we can respect each other and have a good talk.
As a result, the United States and the West seem to regard our goodwill as weakness. Not only did they not let go, but they intensified their efforts, even refusing to give some slightly more advanced technologies.
We tried to apply for exemption before, hoping to make an exception, but we were still ignored. Now it seems that the window for good negotiations has basically been closed.
Since we can't say it, we have to come up with our own methods, not to go against anyone, but to let everyone know that we also have our own bottom line and strength.
First, when ASML makes the most advanced light engraving machine, several key materials are needed, such as high purity stone sand, special fluoride glass, and some rare earth.
Our country is particularly rich in reserves of these things, and it also has advantages in purification and processing technology. Now we have begun to control the export of these materials.
It's not that we won't sell it at all, but that we have to do it according to the situation. We can't buy it casually as before. We must ensure that these key resources are used on the cutting edge, and let ASML know that they can't do without our support when building equipment.
Secondly, we may include ASML and some of their core European partners on the "unreliable entity list."
Simply put, this list means that if these companies don't cooperate with us normally or harm our interests because of external pressure, it will not be so easy for them to do business in China, and they may face tariff barriers, and it will be difficult to enter the Chinese market in the future.
The Chinese market is so big that whether it is selling equipment or doing other businesses, it is a big cake for these companies. If it is really lost, it will have a big impact on them.
Some people may ask, are we doing this just for ASML? Actually, it's not just that.
As we all know, European countries such as Germany, France and Italy have cooperation with us in many fields, such as automobile and chemical industries, and they also have many businesses in China.
We also want these European countries to think carefully about whether to continue to cooperate well with China and make money and develop together, or whether to follow the United States and be the "cannon fodder" of others, and finally even their own business will be affected.
Just like Volkswagen in Germany, it has so many factories and sold so many cars in China. If it affects its cooperation with us because of the pressure from the United States, the loss will definitely be considerable.
There are also French Airbus aircraft. We have also bought a lot of them before. If the relationship breaks down, these cooperation may be affected.
We are not doing this to bully anyone, but mainly to break the current technological blockade. Over the years, the United States has been pulling its allies to prevent advanced technology from flowing into China, just to get us stuck in the neck and let us follow them in the field of science and technology.
We now come up with these measures, that is, want to set a rule, let other countries see, do not follow the American stands, do not hit our neck, if it really affects our cooperation, ultimately to the detriment or themselves.
In fact, there have been similar examples before, for example, Australia because of the United States doing things to us, we adjusted on some mineral exports, which resulted in many Australian companies losing heavily, and later they also had to rethink our relationship.
Now in this matter, we are also the same reason, not to provoke contradictions, but to try through a reasonable way, to gain the opportunity for fair cooperation, so that we can develop normally in the field of science and technology, after all, only science and technology has developed, our life can be better and better, this is the most fundamental purpose.
