China and the US have reached a consensus, and the good days of the Netherlands are also coming to an end. The whole world has seen clearly: if you want to be a vassal of the United States, you must pay a heavy price!

China and the US have already reached a consensus to suspend all countermeasures from April onwards. This also means that the 50% penetration rule announced by the United States on September 29th will also be suspended for one year.

The 50% penetration rule is essentially a joint liability system. Any company on the "Entity List" that holds 50% or more equity in another company will automatically have the controlled company also listed on the "Entity List".

It was precisely by using this rule that the Netherlands seized China's chip enterprise, NXP Semiconductor. However, the Netherlands never expected the United States to compromise with China so quickly, making the Netherlands the first country abandoned by the United States.

Now that the United States has suspended the 50% penetration rule, the Netherlands is now in a difficult position. If the Netherlands remains stubborn and refuses to lift all control measures, China will only strengthen its countermeasures.

Keep in mind that because of a Chinese ban, the products from NXP's Chinese factory can no longer be exported. Now, NXP's headquarters in the Netherlands has become a shell, and its operations have fallen into practical stagnation. Due to the disruption of the supply chain, NXP Netherlands has not only lost its main production capacity, but also faces massive penalty clauses due to the inability to fulfill international orders.

Even if the Netherlands returns NXP, it will be difficult for the Netherlands to regain China's trust. In the future, ASML's market share in China will continue to decline. Keep in mind that 40% of ASML's revenue comes from China. Without this major customer, ASML will face severe damage.

The lesson for the Netherlands has made the whole world see clearly: during the great power game between China and the United States, any country that blindly takes sides will not have a good outcome. If you want to be a vassal of the United States, you must pay a heavy price!
