In an interview, Peter Wennink, the CEO of Dutch technology giant ASML, expressed his belief that U.S. restrictive measures could have unintended consequences, motivating China to intensify its efforts towards technological advancement. ASML stands as the sole producer of high-end lithography machines globally. Wennink highlighted that China has embarked on the development of domestic lithography equipment, acknowledging that while there is still a significant technological gap to bridge with ASML, attempts to hinder China's progress will only fuel its determination.
