Amphenol (China) Co., Ltd. Statement:
First, the decisions made by the Dutch headquarters have no legal effect within China;
Second, Mr. Zhang Qiuming's position and identity remain unchanged;
Third, actions within the authority of Mr. Zhang Qiuming represent Amphenol China;
Fourth, all business operations of Amphenol China are normal. Currently, all business activities, production operations, and external cooperation of Amphenol China are being conducted in an orderly and normal manner under the framework of laws and management systems, and are not affected by any unilateral external decisions. We have the full capability to ensure the continuity and stability of our business.
[Witty] Comment: The move by the Dutch government is simply absurd! Citing so-called "emergency situations," it freezes and seizes foreign legitimate assets without judicial procedures, citing national security as an excuse. This is not a normal administrative measure at all; it is essentially a quasi-war action, a blatant violation of international rules and commercial ethics. When Amphenol's headquarters was acquired by Chinese capital in 2018, the Netherlands did not refer to the 1952 law for review. Now, in 2025, they suddenly bring up old issues. What else is this but clear double standards and malicious targeting? Amphenol China's statement that its business operations are normal is undoubtedly a strong rebuttal to the unreasonable actions of the Netherlands. If the Netherlands continues to act recklessly and disrupts the international economic and trade order, it will eventually reap what it sows.
