The hilarious part is he is surprised because "blocking chips leaving China" is considered an "export control" typically reserved as a "non-proliferation measure only!! Not fair!! China not suppose to do that!!"
...and what, Dutch invoking a wartime law to seize ownership is fair game, but China cannot perform routine peacetime border controls. The fact the Dutch arbitrarily invoke export controls on EUVs yet so "blindsided" when China gives them a taste of their own medicine on chips just exposes how incompetent and clueless they are, dont understand the tech, supply chain, or anything they are controlling. The default behavior is ban hammer or literally theft of a company.
The funny part is he is so insistent he was right, would do it again, he didnt consult experts or his allies, doesnt explain his rationale for capitulation aside framing benevolence in return for China concession. What an idiot. these are all the idiots in West behind the lawfare and export control.
This episode really exposes how many planted stooges US has in Europe, or extent they are vassalized to obey US overlords
Karma will come in the form of involuntary tree planting all in due time.
