Chinese President Xi Jinping told Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte at a recent meeting that efforts to limit China's access to technological advancements would not deter the nation's progress. This discussion came after the Netherlands imposed export controls on advanced chipmaking tools in alignment with U.S. efforts to restrict China's access to advanced technology out of concern for national security, according to a report by the Associated Press.
"The Chinese people also have the right to legitimate development, and no force can stop the pace of China's scientific and technological development and progress," Xi said.
