The US wants to cut off China's chip equipment. China says the supply chain will break for everyone.

"China's Ministry of Commerce warned that US legislation would 'severely disrupt the international economic and trade order and seriously undermine the stability of the global semiconductor industry chain and supply chain.'"

"The MATCH Act would require the Netherlands and Japan to align their chip equipment export restrictions with American rules within 150 days or face unilateral US enforcement, impacting China's access to DUV immersion lithography machines."

China's Ministry of Commerce expressed concerns that US chip export legislation, particularly the MATCH Act, would disrupt global semiconductor supply chains. The MATCH Act mandates that the Netherlands and Japan align their export restrictions with US rules within 150 days or face unilateral enforcement. This legislation could cut off China's access to critical DUV lithography machines and ban servicing of existing equipment. Concurrently, China has implemented its own supply chain security regulations while the US invests in domestic semiconductor capacity through initiatives like the CHIPS Act.
