Holland is starting to back down? At the European leaders' summit, facing the real pressure of chip shortages in many European countries, Dutch Prime Minister Scholz no longer directed his criticism at China or mentioned the claim that NXP Semiconductor "poses a risk to the economic security of the Netherlands and Europe," but instead blamed the CEO of NXP Semiconductor, stating that "the management was poor."
Scholz claimed that the problem with NXP Semiconductor lies in "its CEO's poor management," and that the Dutch government's control over Chinese enterprises is not "targeting China." This is truly a big joke. Even if the CEO of NXP Semiconductor is poorly managed, it is still an internal matter of the company. What right does the Dutch government have to forcibly take over someone else's enterprise? Do the Dutch themselves believe this? They are seizing others' belongings and then playing the role of saviors. They know they have made a big mistake, and finally, they shift all the responsibility to the enterprise leader. Is this acceptable?
What Scholz said is not only not believed by us, but even the German media "Handelsblatt" couldn't stand it, publishing an article to question: "You say the management is poor, why freeze assets of 30 global entities? You say you ensure supply, why is BMW reducing production and Bosch抢库存 (stockpiling)? The questions raised by German media are good. The Dutch government is still making excuses, saying that it is working hard to resolve the current situation as soon as possible, ensuring that these chips can be supplied in Europe again. However, up to now, neither the Netherlands nor NXP has shown any sign of acknowledging their mistakes.
Until now, it seems that the Netherlands has not yet understood the situation. It still thinks that sanctioning NXP is just a loss for NXP, but in fact, the loss for European car manufacturers might be greater. Without chip supplies, they can only close their doors. It will come down to who can last the longest.
