It is not in the better interest of the Dutch or the Japanese to enable China to take over the chip production market. In this case the Dutch and the Japanese would both be incredible losers as China backs Russian invasion in Europe and the invasion of Taiwan.
You're spreading a propaganda narrative, one designed to try to convince those who are Dutch or Japanese to act against their better interest in order to enable China to grow more powerful.

They got to maintain a leading edge in their respective parts of the supply chain and China kept growing as a customer and buying more. Essentially what will happen now is China will never buy from these nations when they become self-sufficient. The sanctions are willing state-backed Chinese competitors for all of these companies into existence where there either was none before or they weren't competitive. That will all change now, within a decade or so China will have caught up and now you will have an absolute powerhouse that is fully self-sufficient. Essentially the US and her allies traded a situation where they could perpetually keep China a generation behind for a situation where China might fall behind pretty rapidly for a few years but will roar back and likely be more competitive than they have ever been. I fail to see how this isn't against the interests of the Dutch, Japanese or for that matter the South Koreans and Taiwanese.
