The principle of the Chinese side is that friends always come with good wine, and wolves come with hunting guns.
In the past few years, China and the Netherlands have maintained friendly trade exchanges, and the list of trade cooperation has become longer and longer. This kind of two-way rush is the recognition of the two countries 'concepts of mutual respect, mutual benefit and win-win results.
Recently, however, the Dutch government suddenly cooperated with the United States and attacked Nexperia China. It not only demanded that Nexperia's assets be freezed, but also replaced Chinese management personnel.

Faced with this situation, the Chinese side responded quickly.In the past few days, the Ansh China District issued an announcement announcing that the company is a Chinese enterprise rooted in China, all employees' salaries and benefits are all issued by domestic companies, and have nothing to do with the Netherlands, so the company's employees only follow the instructions of domestic companies and have the right to reject external interference.
This announcement from China, In essence, a “peaceful evolution” has taken place, telling the world that the Anchor Semiconductor China region is independent from the Netherlands.
If the notification is written, Then the other move of the Ansh China region is to take the first step toward independence.
Recently there was a news that the current Ansel Semiconductor China region has resumed supply to domestic distributors, but the company has a prerequisite, That is, transactions must be made in RMB, and foreign exchange such as US dollars cannot be settled as before. At the same time, distributors and downstream customers must also use RMB for transactions.
Combined with the current situation, this can be much more than simply to change the payment method. change the settlement of the RMB, is simply a step "breaking down the road, building a fortress" strategic chess, each layer is deeply stamped in the key harm.
First, it completely broke the line financially and kicked the Netherlands headquarters off the core circle.In the past, whether it was buying raw materials or receiving money, Ansh China had to use the dollar and the settlement network of the headquarters, which is equivalent to the money bag in the hands of others, each move is held. Now change the RMB settlement, is equal to its own set of independent financial system: the Dongguan factory's money directly collect the RMB, to the suppliers also pay in RMB, even the salary of employees are directly issued from the domestic account. From the flow of funds to the supply chain, the money spent, all formed a closed circle, no longer need to look at the face of the Dutch headquarters, really did my business I am the master, this is the most real bottom of independent operation.
Secondly, a security lock has been added to the funds.At the end of 2024, Wingtech Technology, the parent company of Nexperia, was listed in the "entity list" by the United States. Overseas suppliers did not dare to supply goods. Large customers such as Google directly terminated cooperation, forcing Wingtech to sell all the consumer electronics foundry business. Sell it all, and focus on saving the life of semiconductors. To make matters worse, the Netherlands followed the heckling of the United States, freezing assets and forcibly taking over the headquarters. At this time, if we still rely on US dollars for settlement, one day if the United States says a word, the funds may be frozen and the business will be directly shut down. Switching to RMB now is equivalent to bypassing this minefield and really saving your rice bowl.

In fact, Xi Jinping can take this path of independence is not a temporary initiative, There are three solid backers behind it, and it is these three points that give the company strong capital.
The first is production capacity.When Anshi Semiconductor produces semiconductors, there is a key step called packaging, which is to shell the chip and connect the wiring. Without this step, the chip will be a useless silicon wafer. Now, more than 70% of Anshi's packaging production capacity is in our Dongguan factory. This means that once it leaves China's production and supply, the Dutch headquarters controls more of an "empty shell" and cannot supply customers at all. This is the core of all issues and the most solid bargaining chip for China.
Second, the customer does not shake hands.Previously, the Dutch headquarters also questioned the quality of Anselm China's products and wanted to mess with the business. But Anselm China immediately issued an official announcement, bringing out the last few years' supply records proving that China's products have been stable to the global car supplies, the quality is not a problem, instantly stabilized customers. Now such big car companies like Volkswagen, BMW do not dare to bet, their production line will be used every day to Anselm's semiconductor, once the shipment, the production line will stop, a day losses may be millions.
At the national level, companies are also given a lot of support.China's Ministry of Commerce has issued export controls on Anshi Semiconductor early on, preventing Anshi China's core technologies and production equipment from being shipped to the Netherlands casually, which is equivalent to putting a protective lock on production capacity. Later, the Commerce Ministers of China and the Netherlands also specifically discussed this matter. China clearly told the Netherlands in vain that the legitimate rights and interests of China subsidiaries must be protected. With a national-level platform, Anshi China has more confidence in doing things.

In the face of this situation, the Dutch government at the beginning was quite tough, with the law frozen Anselm China's assets in the Netherlands, and also wanted to send people to take over the office. but China immediately followed the trick, you frozen assets, I engaged in export control; Anselm China's parent company Zhou Tai Technologies was also directly to the international arbitration agency, also invited lawyers to litigate.
What is worse is that the Netherlands is now facing pressure both internally and externally. internally, the Netherlands has a number of small suppliers to support Anselm, Anselm, the business of these suppliers is also affected, some have begun to give opinions to the Dutch government; externally, European car companies such as Volkswagen, BMW, also put pressure on the Netherlands.
In the end, Xi Jinping's China settlement in the RMB has brought the key game of independence to life.In addition to the production capacity that others cannot replace, the support of customers, and the help of the state, independence has long been not the question of "whether it can be done", but the fact that "it has become".
Contrary to the Netherlands, the radical operation at the beginning instead set fire, now the internal dissatisfaction to deal with the domestic enterprises, the external to face the pressure of European car companies, also have to legally break the wrist with China, the space to turn has been small. No matter how you choose next, it will be difficult to change the passive situation.
