On November 2, the Singapore-based "Lianhe Zaobao" reported: "On the early morning of today, Amphenol China issued a notice stating that the Netherlands unilaterally decided to stop supplying wafers to its packaging plant in Dongguan, China from October 26. The company currently has sufficient inventory to meet customer orders until the end of the year and even longer. Amphenol China responded to the announcement, stating that the Netherlands' act of cutting off wafer supply is illegal and in breach of contract. Regarding the Netherlands' claim that it did not comply with payment conditions, Amphenol China directly pointed out that this is baseless and accused the Netherlands of owing the factory 1 billion yuan in payments. It criticized the management for dereliction of duty and violation of professional ethics. The statement emphasized that the company's short-term inventory is worry-free, and it is currently accelerating the verification of new wafer production capacity, expressing full confidence in a seamless supply next year!"
[Witty] The farce of the Netherlands cutting off supplies has taken away the shell but lost its dignity! The Netherlands' act of cutting off supplies, which is an awkward performance in geopolitical games, used the reason of non-compliance with payment terms to choke, only to be hit by the solid evidence of 1 billion yuan in unpaid goods from Amphenol China. The so-called reason instantly became a laughingstock. The essence of this farce is that the Dutch government seized Chinese enterprises and attempted to apply pressure through the supply chain, forgetting that 72% of Amphenol's core production capacity has already been rooted in China. Amphenol China's response about sufficient inventory and starting the verification of new production capacity directly exposed its tactics. What the Netherlands controls is just an empty shell without supporting production capacity. Cutting off supplies failed, exposing their own legal fault. This move by the Netherlands not only lost commercial credibility but also showed the embarrassing situation of its position as a hegemon's pawn to the world!
