I don’t think there is a need to completely go scorched earth on Netherlands just yet, but definitely on Nexperia, considering Wingtech invested heavily to get them out of debt and back into profitability, I am normally one for measured approach but I absolutely hate ungrateful Sh*tf**kery like this.
Since they want to test the export controls, the first step should be a complete ban on the company from access and not just from RE but ban on the purchase of their chips and products using their chips. Should any other company work with, sell to or buy from them. That company can enter the list too.
There is no point in sanctions since these people will laugh it off with the usual I don’t travel to China anyway and they likely won’t be travelling to countries that would actually comply with Chinese sanctions, so it’s a pointless gesture. But the sh*tfaces in the company that initiated this, should be scorched earth sanctioned with their entire family and extended family for at least one generation.
Nexperia only makes discret logic and MOSFETs and not especially good ones either, there are literally a dozen Chinese brands on LCSC with beter performing chips at much lower cost, it's actually pretty funny Netherlands decided to die on this hill.
Now Nexperia spun out of NXP, NXP is still Dutch and makes a bit higher valued stuff like MCUs, IoT, sensors, etc, also not anything industry leading or advanced, but higher profit margins than discret MOSFETs from Nexperia. Retaliating against NXP instead of Nexperia would be a much more impactful.
Especially since China makes up 36% of NXP's sales, and that's not counting parts that passes through China. Considering NXP chips are heavily focused on consumer applications, China banning their transit through China would literally kill the company.
