The Dutch front-foot is still pressuring Chinese chip enterprises, but the back-foot is rushing to call to Beijing, asking for forgiveness!
Recently, the Netherlands took the initiative to call Beijing and asked our Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao to talk about the issue of Anshi. In fact, the Netherlands just can't bear the pressure. I hope China can keep people alive.
Talk about the dragon.That is, as early as the first half of this year, the United States put pressure on the Netherlands to replace Nexperia's Chinese executives. The Netherlands is willing to do the same, because it thinks that by robbing Nexperia, it can completely control Nexperia, but they ignore a key issue: although Nexperia is headquartered in the Netherlands, 70% of its production capacity is in factories in China. Therefore, as soon as China countered and imposed an export ban on the chips of Nexperia's subsidiaries in China, the Netherlands immediately felt what it meant to be under great pressure. This pressure comes from both ends, making it difficult to care about the end and the end. On the one hand, Nexperia has become a technological "isolated island" because it cannot do without China's production capacity, and the Netherlands cannot play it even if it grabs it; At the other end, the Netherlands' own ace industry, photolithography machine manufacturing, is facing the risk of being "cut off the supply of rare earths" by China. Exactly this The dilemma of being attacked from front to back,This is the real reason why it rushed to call Beijing in less than a month.
In the phone, the Dutch Minister of Economy spoke kindly and directly. “The Netherlands attaches great importance to trade cooperation with China” and now wants to solve the issue.These words are actually begging for mercy, because if the Netherlands does not find China to solve its problems, it will be held back, and the life of Asme, a national treasure company, will be very difficult. In the end, it will drag down the Netherlands 'own economy.
In the face of the low gesture of the Netherlands, we did not turn around, and Minister Wang Wintour opened the door to meet the mountain and paid tribute to three words. China attaches great importance to China’s economic and trade cooperation.This is a sign that we really want to do good business with the Netherlands and value the original friendship between the two countries, but it is also a reminder to the Netherlands: we value cooperation so much, but your actions are to undermine the basis of this cooperation, so I hope you can do well and abide by the basic rules.
The second sentence is that this behavior of the Netherlands "seriously affects the stability of the global production and supply chain."This is directly pointing out the mistake of the Netherlands. The Netherlands always said it did so for the so-called "safe", but now the global industrial chain is connected, wanting to break the supply of Anselm's chips, not only affecting Chinese enterprises, European car companies, parts manufacturers have to follow up with suffering. So this is telling the Netherlands, you do not do this in precisely striking China, but in making undifferentiated destruction to the global supply chain.
The third key sentence, at the core, is to urge the Netherlands "to start from the general situation, adhere to the spirit of contract, and create a fair and good business environment."This is to indicate the way to the Netherlands, the so-called "big deal", that is, you can not be closely with the United States, to destroy the bilateral relations and even broader cooperation; "the spirit of the contract" is more direct to the core - when the Anse Half Conductor was acquired by Chinese investment is the agreement of the Netherlands itself, black paper contract, can not now say regret repentance, say robbery, do business to say honesty; finally, "fair good business environment" is to warn the Netherlands, must effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese investors, can not engage in this discriminatory practice, otherwise who dares to invest in the Netherlands?
After all, the Netherlands took the initiative to call this time, not because it suddenly understood the rules, but because China's countermeasures hit it at the heart-it robbed the company and ruined its reputation, but it failed to get what it wanted.The three sentences that China responded to have both patterns and principles. This incident also reminds other countries that in today's era, if they still want to use the same old methods to suppress China, the end result is likely to be lifting a stone and shooting themselves in the foot.
