>the US donated funds and 20 years of research to ASML

wasn't really a "donation" it had strings attached which is why ASML wasn't allowed to export to China, the US has all the say at the end of the day

Oh man if you don't consider it a donation if it has strings then don't do nonprofit work. Juggling buckets of money from people who donated for specific things with specific conditions is just part of the job.
