荷蘭政府暫停對芯片制造商安世半導體(Nexperia)的管控權,將公司控制權歸還其中國母公司,化解了一場曾影響全球汽車生產的中荷僵局。
荷蘭經濟事務部長文森特·卡雷曼斯(Vincent Karremans)周三在社交媒體X上表示,此前賦予政府阻止或修改安世決策的命令已“作為善意姿態”被撤銷。
彭博社本月早些時候曾報道,若能確認安世中國工廠的芯片供應穩定,荷蘭方面準備采取這一行動。
此舉標志著一場凸顯全球供應鏈復雜性并折射中國影響力提升的爭端出現重大緩和。盡管安世生產的芯片并非高端且其在中國僅有一座工廠,但這場摩擦曾波及本田、大眾等多家汽車制造商的供應。
爭端始于9月底,卡雷曼斯援引一項冷戰時期法律,試圖獲得安世決策的否決權。安世由中國聞泰科技控股。隨后,中國政府反制,對安世位于廣東的工廠實施出口限制,該工廠負責將歐洲制造的晶圓加工成芯片。
荷蘭此番讓步,源于雙方在中荷官員參與、并得到德國、歐盟及美國意見支持的談判中取得突破。為推動僵局化解,中方同意放寬對安世中國工廠的出口限制,該廠是全球同類產能最大的基地。
根據荷蘭經濟事務部聲明,該部已在本周派出代表團赴北京,就尋求“雙方都能接受的解決方案”進行談判。

The Dutch government suspended its powers over chipmaker Nexperia, restoring control to its Chinese owner and defusing a standoff with Beijing that had begun to hamper automotive production around the world.
The order that gave the Netherlands powers to block or revise decisions at Nexperia was dropped as “a show of goodwill,” Economic Affairs Minister Vincent Karremans said Wednesday in a post on social media site X.
Bloomberg had reported earlier this month that the Netherlands was prepared to take the step if chip deliveries from the company’s site in China could be confirmed.
The move marks a significant de-escalation of a dispute that underscored the global nature of supply chains and highlighted Beijing’s growing leverage. Even though Nexperia’s chips aren’t advanced and the company only operates one facility in China, the spat disrupted automakers from Honda Motor Co. to Volkswagen AG.
Karremans sparked the dispute in late September by invoking a Cold War-era law to gain powers over decisions at Nexperia, which is owned by China’s Wingtech Technology Co. The Chinese government retaliated by imposing export restrictions over components from the Dutch company’s facility in Guangdong, which assembles chips from wafers made in Europe.
The reversal by the Dutch government was set in motion after a breakthrough in talks earlier that involved Chinese and Dutch officials, with input from Germany, the European Union as well as the US. To help resolve the stalemate, Beijing agreed to loosen export restrictions from Nexperia’s Chinese plant, the largest of its kind in the world.
The Dutch economic affairs ministry sent a delegation to Beijing this week to negotiate a “mutually agreeable solution,” according to a ministry statement.
