March 8 (Reuters) - The Dutch government is set to
inform parliament as soon as Wednesday that it plans to draft
additional rules restricting exports of semiconductor technology
to protect national security, three sources familiar with the
matter told Reuters.
The move follows months of discussions between the
Netherlands, the U.S. and Japan, in which Washington has tried
to get allies to adopt similar restrictions to those it
introduced in October aimed at hobbling China's ability to make
semiconductors and to slow its military advances.
