"Nexperia has been the subject of an ongoing row between Dutch and Chinese authorities. Western carmakers have warned the company's components are critical for the onboarding of electronics. Leading German auto supplier Aumovio said on Friday that it had received permission to export Nexperia semiconducters from China again. Meanwhile, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that there were "positive signals" that deliveries could resume. Aumovio supplies components such as sensors and displays to major automakers."
"Nexperia produces components in Europe, but then sends them to China for finishing and then re-exports them back to clients in the European market. Netherlands, China engage in Nexperia chip dispute The Dutch government effectively took control of Nexperia in September, citing security concerns amid a broader European push to "de-risk" economic dependance on China. Nexperia is based in Nijmegen in the Netherlands but is owned by Chinese firm Wingtech Technology. In response to the move, China announced export controls on Nexperia chips in October."
"The measure alarmed Western carmakers, who have warned that the components are critical for the onboarding of electronics. Earlier this month, Beijing said that it could exempt some chips from the export ban in an apparent gesture toward de-escalation. The Wall Street Journal reported that the exemption was part of a trade deal agreed upon by US President Donald Trump and Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping during an October 30 meeting in South Korea."
Nexperia components are critical to Western automakers and have become entangled in a dispute between the Netherlands and China. The Dutch government effectively took control of Nexperia in September, citing security concerns, while China imposed export controls on Nexperia chips in October. Nexperia manufactures parts in Europe, ships them to China for finishing, and then re-exports them to European clients. German supplier Aumovio received permission to export Nexperia semiconductors from China, and Chancellor Friedrich Merz reported positive signals that deliveries could resume. Reports indicate some chip exemptions may be linked to a trade understanding between US and Chinese leaders.
