On October 12, the Dutch government unveiled a “highly unusual” decision to intervene in Nexperia, a semiconductor firm owned by the Chinese enterprise Wingtech Technology. Earlier, on September 30, the Netherlands had already issued an administrative order restricting its operational choices and stripping Chinese shareholders of their control rights. This action, cloaked under the guise of “national security,” is inherently malicious, surpassing the bounds of typical commercial oversight. It breaches the tenets of the market economy and fair competition, as well as the EU’s international economic and trade regulations. Such a move infringes upon the rights and interests of Chinese companies, erodes the confidence of international investors in the EU market, and amounts to a flagrant violation of international norms. The international community ought not to tolerate such conduct.
