that sanctions Japan imposes on Chinese chipmakers may not be as strict as those applied by the US or The Netherlands.
"The United States is being strict, but there is a question of whether we have to exactly match that. What we do share is a recognition of the concern over the equipment," Akira Amari, Japan's former Liberal Democratic Party minister said in an interview. Over the past year, the US has steadily ratcheted up its campaign to restrict the export of 1technology China's semiconductor industry needs to build better products. In October the Biden AdministrationBut, as we've previously reported, US companies are not the only source of equipment used in leading edge semiconductor manufacturing. Netherlands-based ASML is the only producer of extreme ultraviolet lithography machines used to produce the most advanced chips.
Cutting off China from US equipment vendors was therefore not enough to achieve the USA's goal of ensuring the Middle Kingdom's semiconductor industry can't build advanced chips that would substitute for other silicon that is not allowed to reach Chinese shores. Nor will banning export of US tech stop China from accessing similar equipment from friendlier nations. So, the US went to work convincing its allies to rally to its cause and cut off the Middle Kingdom.
