In an interview with German business outlet <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.handelsblatt.com\/technik\/it-internet\/asml-chef-christophe-fouquet-china-hinkt-bei-chips-zehn-jahre-hinterher-02\/100045956.html\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.handelsblatt.com\/technik\/it-internet\/asml-chef-christophe-fouquet-china-hinkt-bei-chips-zehn-jahre-hinterher-02\/100045956.html\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"sc-80b85506-0 pUpMT\">Handelsblatt<\/a><\/em>, published Monday, Fouquet argued the world needs the legacy chips coming out of China. Demand for these components is rising, but chipmakers are loath to expand production due to their slim margins.<\/p>\n<p>Europe can\u2019t cover half the chip it needs, Fouquet said. \u201cThere is no point in stopping someone from producing something you need. With Russian gas, people have understood that alternatives must be found, but not yet with chips,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Economies like Germany, the U.S. and Japan are <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/europe\/2023\/08\/08\/germany-tsmc-europe-dresden-factory-bidens-chips-act-factory-subsidies\/\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/fortune.com\/europe\/2023\/08\/08\/germany-tsmc-europe-dresden-factory-bidens-chips-act-factory-subsidies\/\" class=\"sc-80b85506-0 pUpMT\" rel=\"noopener\">offering subsidies<\/a> to attract chipmakers to set up domestic operations.

Chinese chipmakers could be trying to insulate themselves from further sanctions, but they may also see less advanced chip production as a stepping stone to move up the value chain and replace Western technology.<\/p>\n<p>Yet Fouquet, in his interview with <em>Handelsblatt, <\/em>thinks China will struggle to recreate ASML\u2019s extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, currently the only way to make the most cutting-edge chips.
