The US government already imposed a series of export restrictions on China at the end of last year. According to an agency report, the export of machines for the production of semiconductors is now to be further restricted. This was reported by the Bloomberg news agency, citing informed circles. Accordingly, companies have already been informed of the plans, which are to be announced next month. The USA also wanted to coordinate with the Netherlands and Japan.
The Netherlands recently decided to restrict the export of semiconductor technology. The government in The Hague thus joined an initiative by the USA. The Chinese government lodged a protest against the decision in The Hague.
