After news broke that the US pressured Dutch semiconductor equipment manufacturer Asmack to stop equipment maintenance in China, the Dutch Prime Minister made another latest statement. According to Reuters, Dutch Prime Minister Dijk Hooff said on August 30, local time, that the Dutch government will take Asmack's economic interests into account when deciding to further tighten export rules to China. The report mentioned that mainland China is Asmack's third-largest market after Taiwan and South Korea, accounting for about 20% of its current backlog of orders. The Chinese side made it clear earlier that it urges the Dutch side to take practical actions to protect the common interests of both Chinese and Dutch companies.
