The Netherlands became the first European country to be "sacrificed"! China officially investigates ASML lithography involving the Netherlands
China has officially implemented the most stringent export restrictions on the core raw materials, equipment and key enterprises involving the Dutch ASML light engraving machine, all negotiation windows are closed, exemption requests are directly ignored, and everyone can see that this is not a stall, but a "real effort".

China's countermeasures are extremely decisive and far-reaching, directly targeting multiple core materials required by ASML. These include key resources such as rare earths, special magnetic materials, and high-precision equipment supporting, covering everything from basic raw materials to advanced supporting technologies. The entire chain.

This series of initiatives marks that China is no longer just a producer or market recipient in the global industrial chain, but begins to directly influence global technology and industrial rules.

In this fierce technological competition, the Netherlands and other countries seem not to realize that they are losing the initiative in the China market.

More importantly, China’s counterattack is not a simple counterattack, but a strong strategic signal: the past of “tolerance” and “expecting understanding” has ended, and China has made it clear that future global technology rules will no longer be dominated unilaterally by the United States or Western countries.

The manufacturing of lithography machine equipment is not a simple mechanical assembly, it involves many fields with extremely high technical difficulty, especially materials. ASML's lithography machines require special high-end materials, especially rare earths and magnetic alloys.

More than 70% of the world's rare earth resources are located in China. The advanced nature of China's rare earth separation technology and formula makes it difficult for other countries to replace them. These unique resources and technologies possessed by China, especially in rare earth magnetic materials, alloy refining and high-precision equipment matching, have become the core competitiveness that cannot be ignored in the global industrial chain.

Without China's support, equipment manufacturers in the Netherlands and other countries will face the dilemma of being unable to produce high-end lithography machines. Although the Netherlands has the ability to produce these equipment, it lacks the key materials provided by China and will ultimately be unable to meet the global high-end chip manufacturing needs.

At this point, China's technological security is no longer just a national strategy, but a fundamental guarantee of the global high-tech industry chain.

The far-reaching impact of this incident is far beyond the economic friction between the Netherlands or China and the Netherlands. This strong counterattack by China actually marks a major change in the global high-tech industrial chain.

China has already had irreplaceable advantages in rare earth separation, advanced manufacturing processes, technical formulas and global talent scheduling. Especially in the field of rare earth separation, most of the world's key technologies rely on China's proprietary processes.

Even if other countries possess mineral resources, they still rely on China’s technological refinement to meet their final production needs, so any country that tries to bypass Chinese technology is destined to encounter huge barriers in global competition.

China’s export restrictions on the Netherlands and other countries have also demonstrated the profound changes that are taking place in the global science and technology landscape, where the power to formulate global science and technology rules and industrial standards is largely dominated by countries with strong resources, technology and voice, the United States and its Western allies.

As China becomes increasingly powerful in terms of technology, craftsmanship and resources, it has gradually influenced and reshaped the rules of the game in global science and technology. China's countermeasures are not only a response to Dutch policies, but also a precursor to the structural adjustment of the global science and technology industry chain.

China is gradually establishing a new industrial order by controlling rare earth resources, mastering core manufacturing processes and building a strong technology system.

As China further strengthens its power of speech in the global tech industry chain, countries that rely on unilateral policies and try to stand out will face increasing pressure, taking the Netherlands, for example, as a once-high-tech powerhouse, it may lose its dominance in the global market, especially when China decides to block key technologies and resources.

At the same time, those countries that actively cooperate with China to jointly develop high-tech industries will inevitably occupy a favorable position in future scientific and technological competition. China's technology and market cooperation provides these countries with a more stable and sustainable development opportunity.

Countries that intertwine market and political interests and try to gain benefits through choosing sides may eventually fall into the dilemma of losing their markets and being restricted.

With the gradual establishment of China's dominant position in the fields of technology, resources and technology, the future pattern of global high-tech industries is also undergoing profound changes.

This change is not just about market competition, but also about the global science and technology rules, and China has clearly sent a strong signal to the world that science and technology innovation and industrial security no longer rely solely on Western rules, but requires global joint efforts to formulate more fair and reasonable rules.

In the past, the model of relying on Western unilateral hegemony and “high-level agreements” has no longer adapted to the needs of the new era, China through practical actions to reshape the global science and technology pattern, showing that global science and technology competition is no longer a “who is stronger” single standard, but “who can independently control core technologies, resources and industrial chains”.

The world of the future will no longer be dominated by one country or one party, but by a new era of science and technology development and innovation in fair competition and cooperation.
