Chinese President’s Firm Stance Chinese President Xi Jinping recently conveyed a resolute message to Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, emphasizing that no force can impede China’s technological progress. The discussion, which took place in Beijing, focused on critical sectors like the semiconductor industry.
President Xi asserted that China’s technological progress is unstoppable, reaffirming the nation’s commitment to advancement. Despite external pressures, China remains steadfast in its pursuit of scientific and technological excellence, ensuring its rightful place on the global stage.
In his remarks, President Xi emphasized the importance of cooperation over confrontation. He stressed the need to avoid creating scientific and technological barriers that could lead to division and conflict. Instead, he advocated for a win-win approach, promoting dialogue and collaboration among nations.
The conversation also addressed the recent export restrictions imposed by the Netherlands on advanced chip technology, particularly by Dutch tech giant ASML. These restrictions, influenced by concerns over potential military applications, have strained relations between China and the Netherlands.
ASML, a leading semiconductor equipment manufacturer, has been prohibited from exporting certain lithography systems to China. These systems are essential for chip manufacturing, and their absence hampers China’s semiconductor capabilities. Despite China’s growing demand for advanced technology, ASML has yet to fulfill any orders from China.
China has criticized the Dutch government’s decision, urging for fair and transparent trade practices. President Xi emphasized the detrimental effects of decoupling and urged the Netherlands to uphold market principles, protecting the interests of both countries and their respective companies.
Prime Minister Rutte reiterated the Netherlands’ commitment to balanced trade policies, ensuring that export restrictions do not target specific countries. He emphasized the need for limited impact on global trade dynamics, reflecting the Dutch government’s cautious approach to managing trade relations.
Both leaders expressed a willingness to continue dialogue and cooperation, recognizing the mutual benefits of a strong economic partnership. They underscored the importance of fostering a fair and transparent business environment, conducive to the growth of Chinese enterprises in the Netherlands.
President Xi’s message to the Netherlands highlights China’s unwavering determination to advance technologically. By emphasizing cooperation and dialogue, China seeks to overcome challenges posed by export restrictions and foster mutually beneficial partnerships with other nations.
