After seizing a Chinese enterprise, the Netherlands wants to talk with China
The Netherlands has made a big mistake.
After the Dutch government seized the Chinese enterprise "Nexperia Semiconductor," China issued an export control notice, prohibiting Nexperia Semiconductor in China and its subcontractors from exporting specific finished components and sub-components produced in China.
This countermeasure has caused a storm in Europe, as many European automotive manufacturers rely on chips provided by Nexperia Semiconductor. If they lose supply, these European automakers' production lines would come to a halt.
On the 16th, representatives of the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, representing 16 automotive companies, issued a joint letter, demanding that "relevant countries" take immediate and effective solutions - which actually means pointing at the Dutch government to give an explanation.
However, the Dutch government only held out for one day before backing down - on the 17th, Dutch Minister of Economic Affairs Vincent Karamans said in an interview that the Netherlands hopes to hold consultations with China to reach a solution to China's ban on chip exports.
It should be noted that Karamans' original words were indeed "requesting negotiations with China to resolve the chip export ban," not discussing the issue of "the Netherlands seizing a Chinese enterprise."
It must be said that these European countries do have such a fantasy: each one thinks it can act recklessly like the United States - but the US dares to do so because it has the power. What does the Netherlands have?
Seizing a Chinese enterprise, and not allowing China to retaliate, what kind of dream is the Netherlands having?
