According to Reuters, Christopher Fukai, CEO of Dutch semiconductor equipment manufacturer ASML, stated on Wednesday (September 4) that the US led measures to restrict the company's exports to Chinese customers "in the name of national security" have become more "economically motivated" over time. According to the report, Fukai made the above statement at the Citibank conference held in New York. During this period, he expects the voices opposing the US led export restrictions on China to increase. Meanwhile, he believes that due to existing limitations, China's progress in chip manufacturing is slowing down.
