corporate legal entity seizure not-working as expected, and quite funny, even as effect shall be broad, deep, and nothing good bloomberg.com Nexperia’s China Unit Says Staff Can Defy Dutch Headquarters By Bloomberg News October 20, 2025 at 1:34 PM GMT+8 The Chinese unit of chipmaker Nexperia said operations continue as normal and employees should follow the guidance of local leadership, highlighting tensions with the Dutch headquarters after the Netherlands government’s seizure of the company. Nexperia’s domestic unit is a Chinese company with operations rooted in China, the local unit wrote on its official WeChat page on Sunday. Nexperia China operates and makes decisions independently, and employees have the right to disregard any instructions coming from the outside, the company said. Acquired by Jiaxing-based Wingtech Technology Co. in 2019, Nexperia is headquartered in Nijmegen, but has Chinese ownership and significant operations in the country. The Netherlands took the unprecedented step of seizing control of Nexperia, a key supplier of chips used by the automotive and consumer electronics industries, to ensure access to its products. The Dutch were warned by the US government that they’d need to replace the Chinese chief executive officer of Nexperia to avoid being placed on a list of sanctioned suppliers. Wingtech was put on the US Entity List in 2024 and the concern was that Nexperia would not act independently of its parent. Beijing has since blocked Nexperia from exporting products from China, with its Ministry of Commerce expressing hope the Netherlands would correct its “wrongdoing.”

How does one say "oops" in all the different languages used by the folks in Holland ? And how to say "ouch" in Bosch, Apple, Samsung, and Dell ? I am guessing that the municipal government of Dongguan City shall backstop Apple after some to and fro, as Apple is made in China, but doubt the backstop would be extended to Apple India unless Modi play nice. Am sure Team Trump, playing 9D Poker, has and shall take advantage of opportunity to de-risk / de-couple, together with enthusiastic EU even in face of Germany, France, and Italy shyness Handled wrong then mass extinction event, all because of some circuit boards and legacy chips Am guess Dell can forget about a rescue, for there is something about karma pcmag.com Dell to Stop Using Chips Made in China Before the End of 2024 Q: who are some of Nexperia largest customers ?
