Japan and the Netherlands will join the US in imposing chip bans on China. The purpose of this is "hitting Beijing's ambitions for building its capacities for the production of domestic chips", according to the newspaper's sources. Dutch company ASML Holding VL will be banned from transferring deep ultraviolet lithography machines used to make chips, and similar restrictions will be imposed on Japan's Nikon Corp.

It will take some time, but eventually, they will get to that point.
