Xinhua News Agency, Singapore, October 13 evening report: "The Dutch government, citing economic security, has taken over European chip manufacturer Nexperia on a rare occasion, expressing concerns about the transfer of key technologies to its Chinese parent company, Wintech Technology. Analysts point out that the Netherlands' move sets a bad precedent, but it is not necessarily entirely politically motivated."
The day before the Dutch government's move, the United States issued new export control regulations, including subsidiaries that hold at least 50% of the shares in entities on the Entity List. In December 2024, Wintech Technology was added to the U.S. Commerce Department's Entity List. Although the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs claimed the timing was "purely coincidental," combined with its previous efforts to push ASML chip manufacturing equipment controls against China, this move clearly shows a tendency to follow the United States and demonstrate loyalty to the U.S. technological containment of China.
In response to the Netherlands' actions that harm Chinese enterprises' interests, China has clearly stated that it will take necessary measures to firmly protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises and the fair competitive environment.
