What happens next depends on whether the Netherlands permits Nexperia’s officials to travel for negotiations and whether those talks can address the governance split that has left the company’s European and Chinese operations out of sync. Until then, the dispute remains a risk for industries that rely on steady flows of the low-margin components that rarely draw attention until they stop flowing .

DalaiLamar The Chinese government should take this matter up to the International Court of Justice in The Hague……….oh wait!!! Reply
Pierce2623 It seems to me that, with the owners being Chinese, the Dutch government doesn’t really feel a ton of pressure over this and they’re unlikely to budge until the Chinese owners and government assuage their national security/IP theft concerns. Reply

If Dutch was still concerned about national security, why did they return Nexperia back to Chinese control after the US-China trade truce and removal of Nexperia from US export control list? Dutch basically got thrown under the bus by the US and had to fully reverse its seizure of Nexperia, which proves it was never about national security or IP concerns to begin with, but US long arm jurisdiction and US pressure. Its funny how Dutch can flip flop a seizure of a company within a few weeks, shows you how incompetent the Dutch minister is about supply chain and technology. Reply
