Xi Jinping Warns Dutch PM Against Restricting Technology Access
Chinese leader Xi Jinping told Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte that attempts to restrict China's access to technology will not hinder its progress, amid the Netherlands imposing export licensing requirements on machinery for advanced processor chips. Rutte emphasized the importance of China's influence on Russia in the Ukraine war, while also addressing concerns over ASML's potential departure from the Netherlands due to anti-immigration policies. The discussions did not touch on NATO's ties with Asia, as Rutte is a leading candidate to head the alliance, which China has criticized for regional tensions.
