Does China use an IBAN?
Yes, China is a significant customer for ASML, the Dutch company that dominates the global market for high-end lithography machines used in semiconductor manufacturing. However, the use of ASML technology in China has become a complex issue due to international trade restrictions. During the 2010s and 2020s, both the United States and Dutch governments imposed increased oversight and limitations on the sale of ASML’s most advanced machinery—particularly extreme ultraviolet (EUV) systems—to Chinese entities. Despite these export controls, ASML maintains a wide customer base, including offices and service points within China and Hong Kong. The ongoing geopolitical tension, often described as a "technological cold war," has complicated the trade relationship, impacting what types of equipment ASML is legally permitted to sell to the Chinese market as China seeks to develop its own domestic chip manufacturing capabilities to reduce its reliance on foreign technology.
