ASML, Europe's largest chip equipment company, refutes US allegations, denying European responsibility for China's acquisition of chip technology.

ASML, Europe's largest chip equipment company, has disputed US accusations regarding China's access to advanced chip technology. The company rejected claims that Europe bears responsibility for China obtaining chip-related capabilities, countering the narrative that European companies or export practices enabled technological transfers to Beijing.

The statement comes amid broader tensions over semiconductor export controls targeting China and concerns about the AI chip supply chain. ASML's response suggests a friction point between US and European positions on how chip technology controls should be managed and who should be held accountable for compliance gaps.
