      Situations like this really highlight how global the tech industry has become.

      Don’t get how people expect this, doubt if it was an American firm Americans for that matter would accept it either.

      The Chinese do not recognise the nationalisation of Nexperia as legitimate, and consider it a theft of legally purchased assets by the Dutch on behalf of the Americans. The company is essentially split, with two sides both calling themselves legitimate and the other a usurper. The Chinese branch has called for all employees to refuse any orders of the Dutch branch.

      And considering that, from what others here have said, the majority of manufacturing is done in China, it seems like the Dutch are about to find themselves with an openly hostile China and a worthless company on their hands.

      The Dutch probably should have started their own chip company instead of just stealing another one.

      Europe needs to get into a mindset of growth, entrepreneurship and innovation rather than just coasting along on existing systems and piggybacking on other parts of the world.

      Dutch seize control of chips.

      And smother them with mayonnaise.
      🤔

    6. Can we acknowledge how just a few years ago this story would only make sense and not seem completely made up if the country’s names were reversed?

      I got an interview invitation from them and canceled it last minute due to ownership and chip supplies to russia.

      Dodged a bullet.

    8. Welp, I see a few more ASML export restrictions being put forward.

      How many EU countries recognize Taiwan? We are too docile and conformist, and it stopped paying long time ago.

      I am just waiting for the fallout on European car manufacturers.

      This can be a HUGE deal and phuck up a big part of European industry.

      I’m surprised ASML hasn’t been asked by Dutch Government to consider operating it

      They’ve lost the majority of their packaging operations, half their revenue and no hope of cash infusion from its owner in this time of crisis. Its either nationalization or bust for Nexperia.

      Guess what happens when you let all your companies outsource manufacturing to China.

      You ain’t got companies anymore.

    14. So… what exactly constitutes „seize control“? Would that not imply that you actually have the control afterwards?

      This sounds more like they found out that they do not and cannot control that entity.

    15. chadofchadistan on

      Because apparently seizing a foreign company out of the blue isn’t “going rogue”?

    16. Any-Original-6113 on

      Will European car companies now buy chips from China or the United States?

    17. FuckMyArsch on

      I wonder if China knows this is just gonna lead to a mass firing, revocation of visas, and possibly permanent expulsion from the Netherlands.

    18. Tel_Janen on

      The fruits of letting the communist country of china in charge of your manufacturing..

      Richard nixon is going to be responsible for the downfall of the west when he opened up to china

    19. Evening_Chime on

      While the Dutch may not net any actual manufacturing benefit from this, it’s important for the EU to take a strong line on China.

      They are exactly like Russia in that they are bullied that only understand strength. They laugh at diplomacy and appeals to goodwill behind our backs.

      The only thing they respect is something like this, because they don’t think we have the nerve to stop them from taking whatever they want.

    20. Are we in find-out phase or is it still China our best friend? Let sell anything valuable to them and be fully dependent on them… Free market(tm)

    21. Thunder_Beam on

      >The Netherlands was forced to act after pressure from Washington, which had threatened to impose export controls on the company if Zhang Xuezheng, Nexperia’s chief executive, remained in post.

      good thing that we are totally independent in our decision making process

    22. MaelduinTamhlacht on

      These are Chinese staff in a factory in China? (Not making a political point, just trying to work out what’s going on here.)

    23. Totally expected and reasonable outcome. 
      Unless the Dutch had their heads in the sand. 

    24. Nexperia’s owner is a Chinese company… what about this is rogue?
