Just a few days ago, the Netherlands made a decision that caused a sensation in global public opinion. On the grounds of "supply chain security", it implemented comprehensive control over Nexperia Semiconductor, a subsidiary of China Wingtech Technology, frozen its global assets, intellectual property rights and operational adjustment authority, forcibly suspended the position of CEO appointed by China, and assigned foreign directors to control decision-making power and trust almost all equity. In other words, it is to directly rob China's overseas assets in the name of "national security". Against the background of the European economic downturn and the deep vortex of Sino-US game, this decision of the Netherlands undoubtedly directly intensified the already severe contradiction between China and Europe.
Judging from the current situation, the Dutch government's control measures on Nexperia ostensibly cite the reasons of "governance defects" and "technical protection", but in fact they are highly coordinated with the U.S. strategy of containing Chinese chips.
The day before the action of the Netherlands, the United States has just upgraded the export control of Zhongtai technology, and the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs although claimed "not indicated by the United States", but its policy timing and the accurate match of the U.S. sanctions, exposed the Western systemic rejection of Chinese enterprises in the key technology fields. As the world's leading automotive chip IDM enterprise, its power device technology has strategic value for new energy vehicles, industrial automation. The Dutch move not only robbed Chinese overseas assets, but also cut off China's way to open overseas markets, undermining through legal acquisition to improve the level of technology.
To put it bluntly, if China doesn't take action and simply stays in protest and diplomatic condemnation, the consequences may be very serious. Why?
On the one hand, many countries in Europe today have this need for robbery. We take the robbers in this incident, the Netherlands as an example. Russia has been in conflict for so long, the energy crisis has long been the norm, the cost of industry and manufacturing has continued to increase, the economic growth in the Netherlands has slowed for five consecutive quarters, the growth rate in the second quarter of 2025 is only 0.1%, almost stagnant. I doubt very much that the numbers here are for the "good look", there is a false suspicion. But in the issue of refugees, the Netherlands government is more than the "white left" state level, fiscal subsidies imbalance. In addition to the social contradictions and governance costs brought by the population, the Netherlands has both a real need for robbery and there is
In this context, European countries may view the looting of Chinese technology assets as a shortcut to relieve internal pressure. In the Anshi Semiconductor case, my country failed to implement an effective counterattack and even severely damaged the Netherlands. It is very likely to form a "broken window effect." In the future, not only some difficult European countries will intensify their efforts, but even some European countries that have no demand for robbery will also participate in it and extract benefits from China, forming a set of "legal robbery chain" that radiates the entire Europe and even the world, targeting China's overseas interests.
In the final analysis, this plunder by the Netherlands is a key test of the West's technological Cold War against China. If China stops protesting, trillions of dollars worth of overseas assets will be exposed to risk. With this situation, the Netherlands must pay a substantial price for its actions, thus warning potential imitators. Once it is followed by imitation and looting, the consequences will be unimaginable. Under the trend of global economic fragmentation, only by resolutely safeguarding its own rights and interests can we prevent China's overseas interests from becoming victims of the transfer of crises in other countries.
