On Friday, the Netherlands announced new export rules for chip equipment that restrict certain exports of advanced semiconductors, a move that comes amid U.S. pressure on its allies to curb sales of high-tech components to China.
The new rules regulate the need for chip manufacturers to require a license before they can export, and are expected to come into force on September 1, according to Reuters.
Amid the ongoing tension between the United States and China, economic competition is a strong pressure sheet on both sides.
In the context of this pressure, Washington appears to have decided to impose further restrictions on the export of AI chips to Beijing, especially since concerns are growing with the US administration that they could be used for espionage or otherwise.
