"The Anshide Chaos," ending with the Netherlands surrendering?
According to U.S. media, the Dutch government has prepared to put aside the previous executive order that forcibly seized Anshide Semiconductor, and may give up control of Anshide in the Netherlands next week, but on the condition that Chinese Anshide does not cut off chip supplies.
Anshide Semiconductor
It was the Dutch government and the high-level executives of Anshide Semiconductor who colluded to forcefully seize the control from Chinese shareholders, but accidentally messed up, dragging down the global automotive chip supply chain. Now they are trying to negotiate business with the Chinese side while holding onto the seized control, exposing the thuggish face of the Dutch.
Even more outrageous than the Dutch government is the Dutch Anshide. According to its latest statement, Dutch Anshide welcomes the resumption of chip supplies from the Chinese factory, but wants to warn global customers beforehand - the Dutch company cannot ensure the quality of shipments from the Chinese factory.
Once the statement came out, Dutch Anshide was immediately confronted by car manufacturers from various countries. After hearing the news that China agreed to resume shipments, several automakers rushed to approach, offering materials to the Chinese side in an effort to secure the first batch of chips, including well-known German automotive parts giant ZF, Japanese Honda, etc.
The Anshide Semiconductor incident triggered a production crisis at Volkswagen
Facts have proven that even if the Netherlands seized Anshide Semiconductor, the initiative still remained in the hands of the Chinese side. Because the chips produced by Dutch Anshide must be packaged by Chinese factories before export.
The Dutch, accustomed to being bandits, didn't expect such a backlash, and were forced to lower their posture, requesting help from the Chinese side.
The Chinese side had no need to pay for their foolish arrogance, but as a responsible major country, the Chinese side did not want to see the global automotive chip supply chain fall into chaos, so it agreed to grant exemptions for exports that met certain conditions. This is a kind gesture from the Chinese side, unrelated to the Netherlands.
The Chinese side particularly emphasized that the responsibility for this incident lies entirely with the Dutch side, and the Dutch side has yet to take any remedial measures, remaining only in words. The root cause lies with the Dutch government and Dutch Anshide. If the problem is not resolved from the source, the Chinese side's goodwill can only provide temporary relief.
Dutch side is fully responsible, Chinese side doesn't take the blame
Perhaps they finally recognized reality, or maybe the United States gave orders behind the scenes, the Dutch government proposed to apply for an economic official visit to China, and the Chinese side has already agreed.
The Dutch side's application for a visit to China was originally to negotiate with the Chinese side, but the Chinese side has no responsibility in this incident, and the trouble caused by the Dutch should be solved by themselves.
The solution is simple: restore the legitimate rights and interests of the Chinese shareholders, cooperate well with the Chinese parent company from now on, and never make the same mistake again. But it's easy to imagine that the Dutch and their backing America will not be willing to accept defeat easily, so the U.S. media released the news that the Dutch side is preparing to put aside the executive order instead of directly revoking it, just to leave a way out.
After one year, when the U.S. "penetrative rules" come back into effect, the Dutch can then act again. It's like the U.S. confident that it can master rare earth refining technology within a year, get rid of reliance on China, and thus no longer worry about being "strangled."
Anshide Semiconductor's parent company, Wenjie Technology
Certainly, neither the Netherlands nor the United States can break China's dominant position in the rare earth and automotive chip supply chain within a year, and their conspiracy is destined to fail. In the upcoming negotiations, we also need to make the West recognize the reality, stop thinking about leaving a way out, and realize that any means are futile in front of absolute strength.
The most despicable thing is the Dutch senior management of Anshide Semiconductor, who, for personal interests, damaged the company's interests and colluded with the Dutch government to forcibly seize Chinese enterprise assets.
Therefore, not only the Dutch government admits defeat, but the senior management of Dutch Anshide should also receive the punishment they deserve. If the senior management is not worthy of their position, it will only drag down the entire company.
