On April 3, 2026, US lawmakers unveiled the bipartisan MATCH Act to tighten
export controls on semiconductor equipment to China, targeting companies
including ASML and Tokyo Electron, alongside US firms Applied Materials, Lam
Research and KLA. The bill would align allied restrictions with US rules, expand
curbs to cover ASML’s immersion DUV tools, bar servicing at certain Chinese
facilities, and impose stricter limits on sales to firms such as ChangXin Memory
Technologies while adding controls on China’s domestic chip equipment sector.
