Technologies, sparking concerns over how deeply Chinese firms may be trying to infiltrate the closely guarded world of semiconductor technology.-based employees had taken proprietary data without permission. While the company downplayed the impact, referring to it as “one piece of a puzzle you don’t have the box for,” recent reports indicate that the same individual now works for Huawei. This could spell trouble given Huawei’s placement on the U.S.
What’s unsettling is that ASML holds a near-monopoly in extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, critical for making cutting-edge chips. Their main customer?

This move can also be read as China’s attempt to show resilience amid U.S. sanctions.
Importantly, ASML has not been the only company to sound the alarm on Chinese firms’ ambitious activities. IP theft and talent poaching have been on the rise, with Beijing notably aiming to snag Taiwan’s tech talent, and a flurry of U.S. investigations into other Chinese companies like Innoscience. With ASML set to comply with new Dutch regulations that further limit its exports to China, Huawei’s new employment choice paints a darker picture of the complex web that’s global tech trade.
