The Dutch government's takeover of a factory in Dongguan led to production cuts, raising supply chain concerns.

Foreign media: After the Dutch government took over the headquarters of chip manufacturer Nexperia, its main factory in Dongguan, China significantly reduced production, cut working hours, and idled one-third of its machines due to disruptions in wafer supplies from Germany and the UK. The Dongguan factory accounts for about 70% of Nexperia's global output.

Previously, the Dutch government took over Nexperia from its Chinese parent company, Wingtech. Subsequently, China imposed export controls on products from the Dongguan factory. However, Nexperia China refused to accept instructions from the Dutch headquarters and announced independent operations.

This deadlock has raised concerns about supply chain disruptions in the automotive industry, as Nexperia's major customer base includes European and Japanese automakers.
