"@BobasoyNPC True but the court didn't rule on availability. It ruled on control. The issue wasn't whether chips were flowing but who ultimately had authority over a critical supplier. That's what triggered the national-security clause not supply shortage"

"They can't even if they wanted to (and the then-CEO said multiple times in interviews he wanted to). The core issue lies in the fact that ASML's EUV machines contain critical U.S.-origin components which places them under U.S. export jurisdiction through what is known as the Foreign Direct Product Rule. The American export control framework allows Washington to restrict or block the sale of any product made abroad if it incorporates U.S.-made parts software or intellectual property.

"I completely agree that double standards are toxic. In principle any government has the right to act when national security or economic integrity is at risk. But it should do so transparently within the law and proportionally. The Dutch case is judicial and temporary; China's own data-localization and export-control measures follow the same logic. The real danger isn't that countries protect themselves. It's that they stop trusting each other's legal systems"

"The ACEA statement isn't a political accusation against the Netherlands. It's an appeal for stability in the supply chain. The temporary disruption happened because of legal uncertainty not because the Dutch "destroyed" the EU auto sector. The government stepped in precisely to protect long-term production continuity under EU law. Even ACEA itself calls for a "quick and pragmatic solution from all countries involved".

"While EUV machines are fully under U.S. export jurisdiction via the Foreign Direct Product Rule (FDPR) due to their reliance on critical U.S. technologies DUV systems are regulated under Dutch law since 2024. The Dutch government now directly issues export licenses for DUV tools like the TWINSCAN NXT:1970i 1980i and 2000i models meaning ASML must apply to Dutch authorities rather than to Washington for permission to ship these systems.

"The Dutch government was the formal issuing authority for ASML's export licenses but in 20182019 it came under intense U.S. diplomatic pressure to revoke a license that would have allowed ASML to sell EUV systems to China. Washington argued that EUV tools were strategically sensitive for military and AI purposes. That political intervention reflected the U.S.'s "long-arm jurisdiction".

"The "pirate" metaphor makes for good headlines but it ignores every verified legal fact. Nexperia wasn't nationalized. Ownership remains with Wingtech. The Dutch court appointed a temporary administrator after clear evidence of internal governance failures including massive fund transfers to a CEO-owned affiliate and the abrupt firing of compliance staff. The timing wasn't a coincidence with the U.S. rule either. The court filings show Dutch authorities had been negotiating governance reforms with Nexperia since early 2024 long before Washington's move. The Netherlands isn't seizing treasure;"

"You're right that the root cause was corporate misconduct. But the impact extended far beyond one company's balance sheet. Nexperia isn't just any private firm. It's the only remaining European producer of certain mature-node power and automotive chips that feed into critical sectors. Cars energy systems medical equipment. If the CEO's covert plan to transfer assets abroad had succeeded Europe would have lost its last foothold in that segment overnight. That's why the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs stepped in.

"That comparison doesn't hold. Unilever sells shampoo and ice cream; Nexperia makes semiconductors used in automotive control units and defense systems. The legal basis is tied to strategic supply risk not market share. If Unilever's CEO secretly funneled hundreds of millions to his own private company and fired his European board for objecting then yes Dutch courts would also intervene.

"No: under Dutch corporate law you don't get to "mismanage your own company." Directors and controlling shareholders must act in the interest of the company (the Dutch B.V.). When there are grounded doubts about proper governance the Enterprise Chamber can impose temporary remedies: suspend a director appoint an independent director with a decisive vote and park the voting rights in custody ("ten titel van beheer") until things are stabilised.

That being said: ASML actually tried to resist U.S. pressure. They kept exporting DUV systems to China as long as they legally could. EUV was different.

"That claim isn't supported by any verifiable source. There's no evidence the Dutch government ever instructed Nexperia to "cut off communication" or "threaten salaries." The temporary system lockout was a standard IT reset after a change of legal guardianship. Even Wingtech itself confirmed this to Chinese media saying some accounts were already restored.

"That's not what happened. No one "kicked the Chinese out". The Dutch court suspended one individual Zhang Xuezheng after confirming serious governance violations and conflict-of-interest transactions (over $XXX million in self-dealing wafer orders).

"Because the evidence was serious and the risk was immediate. Emergency measures aren't a substitute for court proceedings. They're a temporary safeguard used when waiting for a full trial could cause irreversible damage. The Dutch Ondernemingskamer (Enterprise Chamber) used its emergency powers to freeze management actions after documented self-dealing mass firings of compliance officers and violation of a governance pact with the Ministry of Economic Affairs.

"It's not a nationalisation and ownership has not changed. Wingtech still owns XXX % of Nexperia. No shares were seized or transferred to the Dutch state. What happened is that the Amsterdam Enterprise Chamber (Ondernemingskamer) a specialised commercial court placed the Dutch holding company under temporary judicial administration. That means a court-appointed administrator now oversees management decisions on behalf of all shareholders until the governance issues are resolved. It's comparable to a company being placed under special supervision not state ownership. When the investigation ends"

"That's a fair hypothesis. And it's likely true that both sides acted defensively. Beijing probably saw U.S. export restrictions tightening and assumed the Netherlands would follow suit so it tried to shield assets from potential political fallout. At the same time Dutch authorities saw unilateral asset movements and interpreted them as an attempt to evade existing agreements not as a pre-emptive safeguard. So yes it's a mirror image of mistrust: each side moved to "protect" the same company from the other. As for the "original sin" selling to a Chinese buyer it's less about nationality and"

"That's a convenient narrative but not an accurate one. The Netherlands didn't suddenly seize Nexperia because of U.S. pressure. The court intervention came after documented internal governance breaches: self-dealing worth $XXX million board dismissals and a formal request by Nexperia itself for investigation. The Goods Availability Act was used because the Netherlands lacks a newer economic-security law like China's or the U.S. CFIUS framework. It's a legal stopgap not a political stunt. The timing looks dramatic but the filings predate the U.S. rule by weeks"

"Stacks on Stacks on Stacks: The Rice Cooker Kanji That Rules Them All Meet (s) the kanji for "layer" "stratum" "level" and basically any situation involving one thing awkwardly sitting on top of another. Think of it as the architectural blueprint for a very ambitious lasagna or your inbox. This character is a multi-story masterpiece. On top you've got (steam) then (a rice basket) and at the bottom (the stove). Together they form (s) the phonetic and semantic core of . Add a roof radical () and voil: a house stacked with steaming rice baskets. Yes this is literally a kanji about tiered rice"

"I'm afraid this take misses many very crucial details. The CEO they sacked had a criminal record went to prison for almost two years and was warned multiple times by Chinese watchdogs. He also signed an agreement with the Dutch government stating that he would consult other board members for every decision but instead decided to sack them when they started asking questions about him siphoning millions to another company of his in China"

"@WyeKay @MyLordBebo Study law and the court documents. Everything you said here is wrong. I'm not going to explain things you can find yourself by simply reading the court documents"

"That comparison doesn't hold. The difference is that the Dutch court acted under corporate law after documented self-dealing and governance breaches. Not political decree. If you "switch" the nouns you lose that context entirely. A Chinese court removing a Dutch CEO over national-security concerns would be political; a Dutch court suspending a Chinese CEO for $XXX million in related-party transactions is legal oversight"

"That that I completely agree with. But I think the Dutch know this. And that's why I think that currently both the Dutch and Chinese government are working frantically behind the screens to come up with a solution that will make both parties look like victors. I expect a solution within two weeks or so. In fact the Dutch Minister of Economic Affairs will meet with his Chinese counterpart in the next few days"

"Because advance notice would have defeated the purpose of the law. The measure was meant to freeze potential asset transfers immediately. Before anyone could move funds data or production. Even in domestic cases the Netherlands doesn't tip off companies before issuing such emergency orders; confidentiality is essential to prevent pre-emptive action. After the decision Dutch diplomats immediately briefed Beijing Washington and EU partners to explain that the step targeted one executive's conduct not China as a nation. So it wasn't a "rookie mistake" but standard procedure: act first to secure"

"That's a fair point. Nearly half of Nexperia's revenue is China-linked but that doesn't automatically mean bankruptcy. If China cuts off access Nexperia would lose market share not its entire business. Its European and U.S. automotive clients (VW BMW Bosch Continental etc.) still depend on its supply chain. The Dutch state already invoked the Goods Availability Act to prevent collapse meaning temporary liquidity support and production continuity are guaranteed. So yes short-term pain and downsizing are inevitable but state-backed restructuring not bankruptcy is the realistic outcome"
