President Xi tells the Dutch PM the restricting technology access won't stop China
CHINESE President Xi Jinping told visiting Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte today that attempts to restrict China’s access to technology will not stop the country’s advance.
The Netherlands imposed export licencing requirements in 2023 on the sale of machinery that can make advanced processor chips.
The move came after the United States blocked Chinese access to advanced chips and the equipment to make them, citing security concerns, and urged its allies to follow suit.
