China Warns The Netherlands of Confrontation Over Chips | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Chinese President Xi Jinping warned of a "confrontation" with The Netherlands unless supply disruptions in the semiconductor supply chain are plugged. The comments were made during a meeting between the Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte and the Chinese leader. Last year, the Dutch government imposed an export licensing regime on chip-making technology under pressure from the US. This has affected the sale of "high value" products by Dutch company ASML to China. ASML is the largest producer of chip-making technology, constituting 62% of the market supply. While the Dutch PM has downplayed the impact of this chip war on overall financial ties, it cannot afford a trade war with Beijing. Palki Sharma tells you why.
