Europe's superstar is America's most effective weapon against China

When US Secretary of Commerce Don Graves visited The Hague in early June, he had an urgent request from US President Joe Biden to the Dutch government: restrict the exports of mechanical engineering company ASML to China.

According to a Bloomberg report, Graves even visited ASML's production facilities in Veldhoven and spoke directly to CEO Peter Wennink. His concern: no more lithography machines for Chinese chip manufacturers, but more orders from the USA.

From the US perspective, ASML is perhaps Europe's most important geopolitical company.
