"Nexperia China claimed its Dutch parent company cut off access to SAP and Microsoft 365 for all Chinese employees on March 3rd, making it impossible to process new orders. Nexperia China said that as of Friday it was able to conduct "basic production operations" and said it was trying to avoid disruption to production and delivery."
"China's Ministry of Commerce said the incident "has stirred up new conflicts and created new difficulties and obstacles for the company's negotiation efforts," and said: "If this triggers another global semiconductor supply chain crisis, the Netherlands must bear full responsibility.""
"Indonesia's minister of communication and digital affairs Meutya Hafid announced a ban on social media for children aged 16 or under, citing the threat of cyberbullying and the risk of addiction. "We understand that this step may cause discomfort at first. However, the government cannot remain silent when the future of children is at stake.""
Tensions escalated in the Nexperia semiconductor dispute when the Dutch parent company restricted Chinese employees' access to SAP and Microsoft 365 systems, preventing order processing. Nexperia China reported the March 3rd cutoff made operations difficult, though the Dutch entity disputed these claims as misleading. China's Ministry of Commerce warned the incident could trigger a global semiconductor supply chain crisis and held the Netherlands responsible. Separately, Indonesia announced a ban on social media platforms including YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, Bigo Live, and Roblox for users under 16, effective March 28th, citing cyberbullying threats and addiction risks.
