The Dutch side recently released a signal that it will seek to meet with the Chinese side to discuss solving the ¡°standstill¡± that Anselm Semiconductor is currently in.This incident not only affects China¡¯s economic and trade relations, but also poses uncertainty in the global automotive chip supply chain.

According to Reuters, Dutch Minister of Economic Affairs Vincent Karemans said in a program on the 19th that China believes that the Netherlands and the United States have jointly intervened in Nexperia's semiconductor affairs, but the purpose of the Dutch government's action is to prevent Nexperia's former Chinese CEO from transferring business and intellectual property rights out of Europe. Karemans said that Chinese automakers also need chips from Nexperia, and the Netherlands and China should jointly solve this problem. According to him, Dutch diplomats are actively mediating, and he himself will meet with Chinese officials in charge in a few days. "This matter has risen to the highest level for discussion".

The "deadlock" that Nexperia has fallen into stems from the so-called "penetration rules" issued by the United States on September 29. Since then, the Dutch government has directly intervened in Nexperia's internal affairs by administrative means, triggering a chain reaction. Nexperia's global business and governance structure were impacted, and on the 17th of this month, it was reported that employees in China were suspended from pay and system authority was interrupted, which affected business operations.

On October 19th, Anselm China Company issued an open letter to "Anselm China to all employees" "to be listened to". The open letter wrote that at any time, Anselm domestic companies are independent business, decision-making Chinese enterprises. The letter also stressed that at present, the company's production and operation is all as usual, the work is orderly advanced. Board and management always make every effort to ensure the company's normal operation, will not allow external forces to affect the company's operations or harm the interests of employees.

As the Anshi incident continues to ferment, the global automobile industry chain has begun to bear pressure. Reuters reported that although Anshi Semiconductor is not the company that produces the most cutting-edge chips, its product variety, large output, and wide application, especially in the automotive electronics field. Anshi mainly produces chips in Germany, completes packaging in China and sells them to global auto manufacturers. The industry is worried that if the "deadlock" continues and no alternative can be found in the short term, global car companies may face the risk of supply shortages or even production suspension.

Bozella, chairman and CEO of the American Alliance for Automotive Innovation, said: "If the transportation of automotive chips cannot resume quickly, automobile production in the United States and other countries will be affected and may affect other industries. We call for the issue to be resolved as soon as possible to ensure the normal operation of the U.S. and global automobile manufacturing industries."

China's Ministry of Commerce spokesman Ho Zhang said on the 16th that the US side's "penetration rules" are the accelerator of Chinese enterprises, hoping that the Netherlands will adhere to independence and independence, can start from safeguarding China-Hong Kong economic and trade relations, safeguarding the stability of the global semiconductor supply chain, respect objective facts, adhere to the spirit of contract and market principles, correct the wrong practices, effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese investors, and create a fair, transparent and predictable business environment.

The Deputy Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce told the Global Times reporter on the 20th, the Netherlands wants to solve the problem, must adhere to independence and independence, not under the pressure of the United States to generalize the "national security" concept, to politize the economic and trade issues, at the same time to observe the agreement formed between the two companies and the universal market principles, and properly resolve the differences with China through consultation.
