Dutch Economy Minister Vincent Karremans recently stated that he expects to meet with Chinese government officials within the next few days to discuss how to resolve the deadlock surrounding chipmaker Nexperia (Nexperia Semiconductor).
The Dutch government previously announced that, concerned about the potential transfer of technology to Wintech Technology—the Chinese parent company of NXP Semiconductors—it had taken control of the China-based chipmaker NXP on September 30. According to a statement released by NXP Semiconductors, China’s Ministry of Commerce issued an export control notice on October 4, prohibiting NXP China and its subcontractors from exporting certain finished components and sub-assemblies manufactured in China.
Vincent Karremans stated that the Chinese side "believes we are collaborating with the U.S. to intervene in Ams Osram," but in reality, this move is aimed at preventing the company's former Chinese CEO from transferring its business and intellectual property out of Europe.
Anshi Semiconductor's chips aren't cutting-edge products, but they are produced in massive quantities—primarily at its facility in Hamburg, Germany—and then shipped to China for packaging, before ultimately being sold to the global automotive industry. Automakers are concerned that if the current stalemate persists, their supply chains could face shortages before any alternative solutions are found.
On the other hand, Vincent Karremans pointed out that Chinese automakers also rely on NXP Semiconductors' chips. "We have a mutually dependent relationship, with both sides sharing common interests... and we hope to work together to resolve this issue."
Vincent Karremans stated that Dutch diplomats have been working diligently to break the deadlock, and he himself will soon hold formal talks with heads of relevant Chinese ministries.
Anshi Semiconductor reported a net profit of US$331 million in 2024, which represents a valuable asset for Wintek Technology.
According to reports, due to intervention by the Dutch government, AmSilicon's Dongguan factory has restricted shipments since National Day. Starting next week, some positions will switch to a "four-day workweek with three days off," and overtime hours will be reduced. On October 19, AmSilicon China issued an open letter titled "AmSilicon China to All Employees," emphasizing that all employees should continue following the company’s internal work directives. As for any external instructions—whether transmitted via Outlook, Teams, or other channels—that have not been approved by AmSilicon China’s legal representative, employees are fully entitled to refuse compliance without risking disciplinary action or breaching legal regulations.
