Overview
- The Dutch government said on Nov. 19 it suspended its management-intervention measures on Netherlands-based Nexperia.
- Officials framed the pause as a response to recent diplomatic progress with China and part of efforts to stabilize supplies.
- Beijing had restricted exports from Nexperia’s Guangdong plant after the Dutch action, tightening availability of common auto chips.
- Automakers including Honda and Volkswagen faced production impacts because Nexperia’s non-cutting-edge components are widely used.
- Economy minister Micky Adriaansens pointed to signs of Chinese export curbs easing and said dialogue with partners will continue.
