China’s Rare Earth Restrictions Threaten Dutch Chip Industry — Global Panic Ensues

China’s *rare earth export restrictions* are sending shockwaves through the *Dutch semiconductor industry**, threatening global chip production and sparking widespread concern across tech markets. The Netherlands, home to **ASML**, the world’s leading producer of **EUV lithography machines**, relies heavily on Chinese rare earths for essential components. With supplies curtailed, production timelines for critical semiconductor equipment are delayed, creating bottlenecks that ripple through industries from smartphones to electric vehicles. Analysts warn that prolonged restrictions could exacerbate the **global chip shortage* and disrupt the international tech supply chain. The situation highlights China’s growing leverage in high-tech manufacturing and its ability to use *strategic resources as a geopolitical tool* against Europe and the U.S.
