ASML — key-event: Dutch government implemented export restrictions on ASML DUV equipment to China, aligned with U.S. policy

NoteThe source confirms the key elements of the claim: (1) Dutch government implemented export restrictions on ASML equipment to China, (2) these restrictions were aligned with U.S. policy, and (3) the timing aligns with the 2023-09 reference (export license requirements came into effect in September 2023). The source also confirms the additional context that EUV restrictions predated this (implied by the 2019 reference in the claim, though not explicitly stated in the excerpt). The source specifically mentions DUV and other 'chipmaking equipment' restrictions, though it does not explicitly use the acronym 'DUV' in the relevant passage. The September 2024 tightening further confirms the alignment with U.S. policy.
