On November 4, China made a firm statement towards the Netherlands: "The Dutch side should bear full responsibility!"

On that day, China stated in response to a journalist's question that it had already put forward reasonable demands to the Dutch side through multiple rounds of consultation, including resuming wafer supply, respecting existing equity structure, and returning to the rule of law. However, the Dutch side not only failed to make a substantive response, but also further tightened the control over semiconductor equipment exports in mid-October, adding more Chinese entities to the restricted list.

From the illegal order on September 30, court ruling at the beginning of October, supply cutoff on October 26, to global supply chain disruption, the entire incident chain is clear and the cause and effect are obvious. The reason why China emphasized "the Dutch side should bear full responsibility" in this statement is because: the intervening party is the Dutch government, the entity implementing the supply cutoff is its domestic enterprises, the loss is the legitimate Chinese assets, and the impact is the stability of the global industrial chain.

The Chinese investment in NXP is not a "gray operation," but a legal result after being reviewed by Dutch and EU regulatory authorities. However, three years later, the Netherlands unilaterally and brutally overturned the existing legal facts, which is extremely rare in international investment protection practices.

Now, NXP Semiconductor has found that the supply chain interruption has triggered a chain reaction: some European automotive parts manufacturers have started reporting extended delivery times, and some U.S. industrial equipment manufacturers have also adjusted their procurement plans. The new management and the Dutch government have started to panic, repeatedly expressing the intention to communicate with China. However, while making statements about communication, they have never been willing to make substantive corrections. Therefore, China's tolerance also has its limits.
