One thing that's cool is how American policy on sensitive technology is decided by two corrupt pedophiles, Trump and Ludnick, making shit up. Good odds the explanation behind this is something preposterous like ‘they think this creates leverage to take Greenland.’ — www.bloomb…

@sporadica Pretty obviously it wasn't “divert an existing machine” but “expertise from lots of ASML former employees (many Chinese...), subcontractors, documents, etc.” letting China build one themselves using substantial ASML (and thus US export controlled due to tech) dev work.

The US government is accusing ASML of letting China get an EUV lithography machine. This seems bizarre to me, and no evidence was provided. ASML has pushed back, saying they can track where every EUV machine in the world is and that each one requires constant servicing by ASML.

ASML's EUV machines may have made their way into China, prompting fresh scrutiny from the Trump administration over possible violations of U.S.-led export restrictions. A similar alarm was already raised in late 2025, when Reuters reported that former ASML engineers had helped [i…

$ASML What a bizarre thing to say. Especially with new machines. Next to export licenses, EUV machines require maintenance. It is very, very hard if not impossible to lose track of these machines in working conditions.

If true, this couldn't be smuggling due to the size of the machine The US has outlined concerns to ASML that one of its top chip machines may have made its way into China, violating export curbs https://www.bloomberg.com/...

ASML's “we have never shipped an EUV machine to China” is telling on itself. Total lawyer answer. They know a decommissioned machine slipped through, at tremendous cost to American national security. [image]

The US banned the EU from accessing frontier models, so it's only logical for the EU to supply open source providers with the means to recreate frontier models. US Plays stupid games, wins stupid prizes. Lutnick can get bent, we are slaves to nobody
