Netherlands Suspends Nexperia Intervention After Chinese Export Easing

Overview

• Economy minister Vincent Karremans suspended the Dutch order over Nexperia, effectively restoring control to Chinese parent Wingtech, and the EU’s Maros Sefcovic called it a step toward stabilizing chip supply chains.
• The European Commission said Chinese authorities partially resumed Nexperia shipments after a Xi–Trump trade accord earlier this month.
• Nissan plans to cut about 1,400 vehicles at its Kyushu plant next week and reduce Note output at Oppama, according to a person familiar with the matter, while the company says it is adjusting production to limit customer impact.
• Bosch reported production interruptions at Ansbach and Salzgitter in Germany and Braga in Portugal, as suppliers seek alternative sourcing and some receive limited export exemptions from China’s commerce ministry.
• Honda expects to resume normal production in North America after securing chip supply, though Germany’s VDA warned conditions remain tense and further disruptions cannot be ruled out.
