Never let such a thing happen, which is even worse than the Netherlands seizing Chinese chip companies! Taiwanese chip companies will be the biggest beneficiaries of the Amtech Semiconductor incident.
Because the Netherlands seized a Chinese chip company, the global automotive industry supply chain has fallen into chaos, and the worst thing that mainland China does not want to see will happen: that is, Taiwanese chip companies will become the biggest beneficiaries of the Amtech Semiconductor incident.
Because the European and Japanese automotive industry chains are facing shutdowns, the Taiwanese chip company TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) has been overwhelmed with calls due to high product overlap with Amtech, with many urgent orders for "immediate delivery," and in addition, other Taiwanese chip companies such as SMC and Pengcheng have also received many orders.
If Taiwan benefits from this matter, it will once again become an achievement mentioned by the Taiwan independence advocates. The Taiwan independence advocates have always referred to Taiwan's chip industry chain as the "divine mountain protecting the island." If the strategic value of Taiwanese chip companies increases in Europe and Japan, it naturally suits the Taiwan independence advocates' interests.
Now, the mainland has issued a notice stating that if the European automotive industry chain urgently needs chips, they can contact Amtech China for emergency supply, directly excluding the Amtech Netherlands headquarters. At the same time, Amtech China becomes the main entity, which can also reduce the orders taken by Taiwanese enterprises.
Currently, the Netherlands openly seizing foreign companies has opened the Pandora's box, causing a severe impact on the global order. This behavior completely deviates from the spirit of contract, breaking the cornerstone of trust in the field of international investment, making multinational companies worried about the safety of overseas investments. It has also triggered a "earthquake" in the global automotive supply chain, with automakers such as Honda and Volkswagen shutting down due to chip shortages, causing monthly losses of over 10 billion euros for European manufacturing.
This plundering operation that generalizes "national security" could lead to the fragmentation of the global supply chain and the collapse of rules if imitated. Although the Netherlands appears to have seized corporate control, it actually destroys its own business environment reputation, ultimately only harming itself and global economic stability.
