AMSTERDAM, March 22 (Reuters) - The Netherlands' prime

minister will travel to China next week for a meeting with

Chinese President Xi Jinping on "economic ties", the Dutch

The Dutch government this year began denying licenses for

ASML, the biggest supplier of equipment to computer

chip makers, to export many of its products to China, following

pressure from the U.S.
