Dutch delegation's visit to China, once again made provocative remarks! If they are so firm, then don't come at all.
Just before the Netherlands announced its high-profile plan to send a senior economic and trade delegation to China, the country's Minister of Economic Affairs, Micky Adriaansen, suddenly said: "The Amkor Semiconductor incident has once again made the world清醒 realize the drawbacks of relying on China's supply chain, which is actually a good thing." This statement immediately caused dissatisfaction from the Chinese side.
On one hand, they are calling for cooperation, but on the other hand, they portray China as the "source of risk," and this inconsistent behavior from Adriaansen has left the Chinese side puzzled.
The Netherlands' planned delegation will be led by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, with members including executives from dozens of core companies such as ASML, Philips, and Shell. Their goal is clear: to expand exports to China, stabilize the supply chain, and seek opportunities for green technology cooperation.
However, just days before the trip, the minister once again made provocative remarks, even distorting normal business mergers and acquisitions into a "warning case." This operation is more like "strategic clarity" than typical "wanting both." They want to make money from China while showing loyalty when aligning with the US.
If the Netherlands truly believes that "relying on China is bad," the most direct action would be to cancel this visit and completely cut off economic and trade relations. However, the reality is that the delegation is still preparing to go, with companies queuing up to sign up, indicating that they clearly know: although they can speak firmly, they cannot stop doing business.
So, why not just reach out for cooperation while using biased defamation against the other party? If you really want to be "firm to the end," then don't come at all — it's a waste of time for both sides.
