Nexperia, a Dutch chipmaker recently acquired by Chinese firm Wingtech, faces an export ban in China, causing concern in the global chip industry. The ban, following a Dutch government seizure of Nexperia's control, has led to a stand-off between China and the Netherlands, with China's business community urging the Dutch government to reverse its decision. The dispute has put global chip supply at risk, with the U.S. also imposing sanctions on Nexperia. The Dutch government's action, invoking a Cold War-era law, has escalated global tensions.

Nexperia, a China-owned chipmaker, has been at the center of a geopolitical storm. The Dutch government took control of the company following concerns over its Chinese CEO's "reckless leadership" and potential technology leak risks. This move was reportedly influenced by US pressure, leading to retaliatory export restrictions from China. The Dutch court suspended the CEO for purchasing too many Chinese products, which went against the company's interests. The Dutch minister has since briefed parliament on the "historic" takeover, citing national security concerns. The Chinese government has placed export controls on Nexperia in response to the Dutch intervention, with the Chinese chip association voicing concerns over the Dutch intervention. The takeover has also led to a decline in the Japanese stock market, with Nexperia's parent company's shares dropping significantly.
