China hopes the Netherlands will support companies in fulfilling their contractual obligations and ensure "normal" trade of lithography machines, said Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao.
In a meeting with Dutch Trade Minister Geoffrey van Leeuwen
on Wednesday, Wang added that China regards the Netherlands as a
"trustworthy" economic and trade partner.
The two men held in-depth talks on issues including the
export of lithography machines to China and cooperation in the semiconductor
industry, according to a statement from the Chinese Commerce Ministry on
Thursday.
Earlier this year, the Dutch government began denying
licenses for Dutch firm ASML to export advanced immersion deep ultraviolet
(DUV) tool lines to China, joining a U.S. effort to curb chip exports to the
world's second-biggest economy.
The Dutch trade minister was part of Prime Minister Mark
Rutte's delegation visiting Beijing earlier this week.
