Japanese automakers warned of chip supply disruption - Just Auto

The Dutch government's seizure of Nexperia, a Chinese-owned semiconductor manufacturer, was a response to U.S. pressure and concerns about the company's governance. The U.S. government had warned that the CEO, Zhang Xuezheng, would need to be replaced to avoid being added to the U.S. "entity list," which imposes strict export restrictions. The Dutch government's intervention was part of a broader effort to ensure the availability of critical goods and maintain technological knowledge and capabilities within the Netherlands and Europe.
