You're far too concerned about what people say. China still has a lot of work to do and a lot of things to accomplish. The country's leadership cannot waste time on various grievances. Since Trump launched his trade war against China in 2016-2018, China has done remarkably little to retaliate and look where they are now. United States has spent nearly a full decade justifying its sanctions, strengthening international compliance, trying to find new ways to screw over China... all just to create an AI bubble and bankrupted farmers. Meanwhile, the Chinese economy has only grown, popped a cancerous real-estate bubble, built enduring a near complete tech-stack at home, took undisputed leadership in EVs, renewable energy, and drones.

Similarly, the European Union spends much time saying the right things and how "evil" everyone is, the virtues of European culture, and their humanitarian credentials. Meanwhile their living standards and global competitiveness has stagnated or fallen.

To quote one of my favorite characters in Game of Thrones;

“We were informed by China that they will enable the resumption of supplies from Chinese factories from Nexperia,” Schoof said in an interview Friday on the sidelines of a climate summit in Belem, Brazil.

A resumption could set the stage for the Netherlands to relinquish control over Dutch-based Nexperia, which is owned by China’s

China retaliated by imposing export restrictions over components from Nexperia’s Chinese facility, which accounted for about half of its pre-crisis volumes.


I am continually impressed by just how level-headed and patient China is. The reality is, they could've really hurt European industry for a few weeks/months just to make a point, but they chose the high road yet again.

What will happen to Nexperia's Dutch assets remains to be seen, I suspect China actually wants to see what the Dutch will do now that they've been given a bit of reprieve. What Netherlands will do next will probably determine whether China goes punitive or not.

Taiwan’s No 2 leader Hsiao Bi-khim makes shock speech at European Parliament​

Second-in-command addressed private conference of lawmakers on Friday in Brussels, a move likely to prompt a furious response from Beijing

I was going to say someone in Beijing was betting a lot on the Euros fucking up again, and they did almost immediately.

This is happening way too often for it to be a coincidence, and it looks like a deliberate strategy of Beijing to appear to be more than reasonable in the face of European aggression and insults to offer olive branches only to be met with more aggressive and hatefulness.

This is also a masterclass in intelligence operations where China knows European moves so well it’s like the Europeans are working in concert with China to paint themselves as the bad guys and has the confidence to make plays like this based on said intelligence.

If one was of a suspicious disposition, it almost looks like a deliberate and purposeful public opinion shaping exercise to harden people’s resolves inside China and making to neutral 3rd parties abundantly clear who the aggressors is and who should bare ultimate responsibility for the fallout to come.

You are impressed? I am disappointed by china being a chicken once again. They constantly chicken out against the west. They never stay firm. So the west never fears china and keeps attacking

Oh well, victorious in the Nexperia affair, China is stronger there. But ... the chips are made on ADSL machines. And they are Dutch.
China knows this well and wisely does not escalate the problem to a widespread conflict. It still needs some time.
And even so, it ended very favorably for China. As best as it could.

Nah. At this point, extradition of the guilty parties involved in the coup within the company to China is the only acceptable condition.:cool:
