The Netherlands did not expect that it would be self-defeating this time. Not only did it take over a "shell company," but it also offended China. At the beginning of the new week, it hurriedly set a trip to China, hoping to discuss solutions with China face to face.
Dutch Economy Minister Karemans revealed that he would meet with China ministers in a few days to discuss ways to resolve the deadlock. However, judging from Karemans 'statement, the country still has a lofty attitude, which is supported by two details.
First, he emphasized that "China 'thinks we are joining forces with the United States' to intervene in Nexperia." He explained that this move was to prevent China from transferring business and intellectual property rights. The implication was that China had wronged Nexperia Semiconductor Chip Company, and accused relevant Chinese personnel of trying to use their authority for personal gain, not only targeting the company's business, but also planning to secretly transfer key technologies to China. I have to say that I can never wake up a person who pretends to sleep. This sentence is not too much for the Dutch side.
After this incident, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has conducted a positive response, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin剑 reminded the Dutch government that China is consistently opposed to the generalization of the national security concept, do not politicize the economic and trade issues. but the Dutch side not only does not listen to the voice of the Chinese side, but also does not realize their mistakes, but also stressed verbally that the Chinese side is uncomfortable, and does not know what to talk about with such a prejudice attitude and the Chinese side.
Moreover, this is a small move behind the Netherlands and the United States, otherwise the United States will not revoke the trade restrictions on 15 Chinese enterprises, to know, this restriction is only in effect for 10 days, the US move if it is not empty, I am afraid that nothing can be explained.
Second, Karemans emphasized that Chinese car companies need Nexperia semiconductor chips, and the two sides are interdependent. Nexperia is indeed a leading company in the global automotive chip field, but its core lifeblood is in the hands of China. The production line, core design team, raw materials, etc. are all in China, and 70% of the world's chips are produced in China.
Ironically, the Dutch government only saw the enormous interests of the Anchor Semiconductor, but did not see the real problem, under the US, only controlled the office of the headquarters of the Anchor Semiconductor, there is no substantial role at all, but also given to China. According to the counter-announcement issued by the Ministry of Commerce, the Chinese first time on the Anchor Semiconductor export control, this decision directly hit the seven inches of the Anchor Semiconductor, can not get the chip produced by the Chinese factory, the Dutch government has only mastered a shell company.
In addition, Anshi China also took the initiative to cut off from its Dutch headquarters. Not only did it announce that it would operate independently, but it also no longer accepted any instructions from the Netherlands. To put it bluntly, the Netherlands says yours, I do mine, and we will not interfere with each other in the future. What's more, Anshi Semiconductor's China factory had been suspended for a week, and many companies were already in chaos. Only then did the Dutch side realize that China's countermeasures were so painful, but Karemans was obviously still planning on wishful thinking and emphasizing that the initiative was in his own hands. It can only be said that the Dutch side only knew it was wrong, but did not know what the problem was at all.
The "Anchorage" case, said white or Chinese-American game, and Anchorage this time has still not escaped the tragedy of damn and defeat, can only explain that the company is indeed fooled by the American side, this is not the first time the United States has done so, the previous ASML (ASML) company has been pushed out by the United States as a gambler, only, ASML's attitude is more firm than Anchorage semiconductor, priority guaranteed the business interests of the enterprise, to avoid becoming the victim of the Chinese-American game, today's ASML, only in the first half of this year, sales to China reached 7.2 billion euros, approximately RMB 5.7 billion.
The different attitudes of AXA Semiconductor and ASML imply that AXA Semiconductor has only two different ways out. It can either blindly obey the United States and watch European car companies fall into lockdown and at the same time have hostile relations with China, or reject the US "suggestion" and gain a larger market and interests. No matter how many companies are encouraged by the United States since then, as long as the Dutch government does not realize the key to the problem, such negotiations are destined to be a waste of time. The country is also destined to escape an outcome, that is, to become a victim of the Sino-US game and ultimately become a joke in the international community.
