It's pointless. They'll just produce domestically whatever you refuse to sell them. And then ASML will lose its monopoly by having to compete with Chinese firms.

    You can't do that. There is a reason only one company in the entire world can do it. It's because it's really hard to do and it is an iterative technology.

    So your logic is "Give China everything they ask otherwise they will make their own and outcompete you"?

    You know, that sounds awfully close to what Russians constantly say, but replace make with take
