Beijing envoy warns Dutch of retaliation for chip curbs: 'China won't just swallow this'
The Netherlands will face consequences if it blocks the export of high-end semiconductor equipment to China, Beijing's envoy to the country has warned.
The Hague announced new curbs on the export of chip-making technology this month, in step with the United States in curtailing China's access to cutting-edge chips.
"This will not be without consequences. I'm not going to speculate on countermeasures, but China won't just swallow this," ambassador Tan Jian said in an interview with Het Financieele Dagblad, a Dutch newspaper, on Monday.
