Key part

> On 4 October 2025, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce issued an export control notice prohibiting Nexperia China and its subcontractors from exporting specific finished components and sub-assemblies manufactured in China. Nexperia is actively engaging with the Chinese authorities to obtain an exemption from these restrictions and has deployed all available resources to that end. Nexperia is in close dialogue with all relevant national and local government authorities to mitigate the impact of this measure.

This doesn't make any sense, why do the Dutch think taking control of Nexperia will somehow force China to provide components to them?

The Dutch ASML is prohibited from providing EUV to China which is apparently what forced China to decouple. Little wonder the other day the Chinese said "We aren't afraid of trade war". Escalating this BS brings nothing good to ordinary people.

The Chinese export ban on 4 October is a reaction to the 7 October Dutch takeover even though the dates are reversed, because the Dutch action involved court proceedings before being finalized whereas the Chinese action presumably didn't.

You have omitted from the key part that the Chinese export control notice was a reaction to the rule announced on 29 September 2025 by the United States Bureau of Industry and Security, which has put Nexperia on the list of entities to which US export restrictions apply.

So like for all these kinds of actions, regardless whether they happen in the Netherlands or in China or in Taiwan, their origin is in USA.

Official statements aren't exactly detailed, but seem to indicate that the Chinese export control notice was a reaction to the Netherlands' invocation of national security instead: https://cj.sina.com.cn/articles/view/1686546714/6486a91a0190...
