How did they not see this coming?https://www.reuters.com/world/china/dutch-economy-minister-says-he-spoke-with-chinese-counterpart-about-chipmaker-2025-10-21/
>>519513250if they offshore this critical asset why didn't they make sure they can get local or friendly production before seizing the office? are europeans retarded?
>>519513687Read the article, it basically confirmed we live in clown world.The chips are not sophisticated, they are basic and a lot of them are needed.The chips are 100% made in the Netherlands.They are then send to China.All China does is box them and ship them around the world.Somehow this means there is a shortage of them in Germany, even though the Netherlands and Germany share a fucking land border.
>>519513687>are europeans retarded?i'll never understand why the mutts enabled the chinks. ivan's nukes don't even fucking werk.
>>519513250Why Nexperia, though? Perhaps the point here is to serve as a warning shot. ASML is in Holland, and it is the REAL important company in the chipmaking world. ASML makes the machines that make the chips. It's the only company that produces EUV lithography machines. Without ASML, China really would have a problem. And they have already placed various restrictions on sales to China.
>>519514262the chinks did a lot of that by themselves. people love claim they did nothing, because it makes for a funny meme when they are winning, but china absolutely encouraged retardation in europe to a self-destructive degree.they were always heavily pushing for all the green deal shit and ruinous CO2 targets for example, all while negotiating exceptions for themselves.pretty sure if someone actually dug into the funding of our establishment parties, you'd see billions flowing from china into them to ensure the retards who are easily exploited stay in charge.
>>519513789>All China does is box them and ship them around the world.In the chip industry, "packaging" means installing chips on circuit boards and turning them into finished products... an industry that China totally dominates. Think motherboard manufacturing, for instance. Pic related.So the Dutch side is looking for new integrators. (They won't find any.) And the Chinese side is looking for new chip suppliers. (It'll take Huawei or a similar company 6-12 months to get production going.)
Nexperia might make chips in Europe, but the source materials probably come from China.>Polysilicon, the primary raw material for silicon wafers used in semiconductor production, is overwhelmingly produced in China. As of 2024-2025 data, China accounts for 93.5-94% of global polysilicon capacity, making it virtually inevitable that Nexperia's wafer fabs source polysilicon (directly or indirectly) from Chinese producers, even for European-based manufacturing.China is the dominant player in the chip fabrication world.
>>519514789Except most of the energy they produce is now renewables. It's funny to see eurojews who pushed le green revolution so hard now doing a full 180 because they couldn't get ahead of it and are even mow claiming China was the one that psyoped them into it all along kek
>>519514789>the chinks did a lot of that by themselves.WTF are you on about hans?i said>the mutts enabled the chinkswhich is actually what happened, unlike your retarded fantasy version. if the fucking mutts hadn't given them all the secrets chinks would still be trying to forge steel in their back gardens.
>>519513789the wafers were made in the netherlandseverything else was made in chinapackaging is then done in chinanote that the ex-CEO's other company in china makes wafers and the point of contention they had with him was him placing 200m in orders from his wafer company in china, when they thought 100m was enough
>>519515443>Except most of the energy they produce is now renewables.Only that it's not actually true.
>>519516523You're a fucking idiot. Maybe look at who negotiated what at all these retarded climate summits, and who was pushing heavily for more and more restrictive regulations, all while exempting them from it.The mutts are another issue, but China absolutely used their influence to strengthen the retarded parts of European politics and provide them with more influence than these mouth breathers should have ever had.
>>519517309he's talking about what they're adding to their power supply, you're talking about their total energy profilechinks hit peak coal-based power generation awhile ago
>>519517309It's getting close. Your pic is not accurate.
>>519517381I've always believed that green energy and faggotry is just a cope for Europeans after they lost their white pride and needed something to consider yourself the best. And so they started to think that they are better than the rest because they love migrants, green energy and gays. Giving it up is mentally the same as losing the war again
>>519514789> bro its the chinksno. Greentards were funded by the US to keep Germany from reaching its nuclear potential thats why a lot of German physicists now work in China on next gen reactors they get funding here while getting told to fuck off here. Also the french started the green bullshit because they wanted to sell new cars but then cattle mind of Germany took over and here we are. European ((elite)) is to blame for the mess not China, the US did just what it always does taking out a competitor through a psyop.
>>519515102lol people think chip packaging means putting them in cardboard boxes for shipping.
>>519517381>retarded climate summits,i'm talking about shit that happened 50 years ago you retarded fucking zoom. shit you see happening today is the result of mistakes made a long time ago.
>>519513250they should just send gunboats and force opium for chipsyou know their euro standard for whenever they want something fron azns
>>519513687>are europeans retarded?Yes, they're also lapdogs to America but still very arrogant. They thought they could appease the US to avoid sanctions on these critical products and China would roll over, but they've just shot themselves in the foot for no benefit, cause China's retaliatory measures are more crippling to the business than Trumps tariffs would have been.
>>519517431Europe hasn't added to their electricity generation capacity in decades. New projects only replace retired production, not increase capacity.
>>519517759>wheelchair president
>>519518022As if they just didn't want to take the business for free for themselves, just hiding behind the tariffs as an excuse that others would eat up.
>>519513687>if they offshore this critical asset why didn't they make sure they can get local or friendly production before seizing the office? are europeans retarded?It's an edict from the US.Dorito Hitler imposes sanctions on a whim against China, demands EU takes action (EU is a US project so they will ofc oblige) and the EU does.Your very correct solution requires planning and at least a few years of actual preparation (including infrastructure investments like energy) before it can happen.So in short, the demands came too fast and our leaders are too retarded to understand it (even if they were given enough time they would fail).See pic rel for instance.All the way back in 2008-ish Europe advertised that they wanted to decouple from Russian energy.Later it became more explicitly an act of aggression, intended to cut power to Kaliningrad and causing energy shortages etc there.Russia reacted and started expanding energy production, building more powerplants and transformer stations.In 2025 the EU finally cut the power connectors to Russia... without having expanded energy production or invested in infrastructure to handle it.Over night energy prices double in the Baltics while Kaliningrad see lower energy prices since they now export a little less.This is the level of retardation we are talking about.Ofc they would take over a Chinese chip company without considering the fact that all chip manufacturing was done in China and the offices they took over were just office workers doing marketing and maybe some R&D.
>>519517716Shareholders can't resist cutting cost even if it jeopardizes long term future and company health. >>519518223You don't really need it if your industrial processes aren't growing and your population is also barely growing. >>519514262Kissinger thought this was a great way to own the dysfunctional soviet union that was on a long course to self implode (similar to US itself in recent times).
>>519518545This is the first time I saw this video. Holy fuck, these people are fucking retards.
>>519514789you stupid eurotard. China didnt do anything but allow capitalism to flourish and that's why it's rich and powerful. It makes everything in the world. You are broke and industrialized because your country is ran by women and jews. Enjoy, and zelensky called, he needs more money
>>519518719>Kissinger thought this was a great way to own the dysfunctional soviet union that was on a long course to self implode (similar to US itself in recent times).This would hardly have happened without this deal.
>>519515102>an industry that China totally dominatesI’ve never bought or even seen Chinese semiconductors in my life. Every computer or electronic device I’ve ever used had chips and boards made either in Taiwan, the US, or Japan. And the kinds of chips we’re talking about here are mostly made in America.
>>519518719>Shareholders can't resist cutting cost even if it jeopardizes long term future and company health.That's capitalism. They'd be violating their legal fiduciary duty to their shareholders if they didn't do that. >>519518719>You don't really need it if your industrial processes aren't growing and your population is also barely growing.True. It's not like the west is mass importing 3rd worlders to work in factories, they're here to rent property from boomers to keep them rich, and work jobs in service industries and nursing homes to make sure boomers die comfortably.>Kissinger thought this was a great way to own the dysfunctional soviet union that was on a long course to self implode (similar to US itself in recent times).Most poltards blame China for "stealing our jobs" but don't realize that it was a deliberate geopolitical strategy to keep China on our side rather than economically aligning with the USSR, and that western businesses were happier than pigs in shit at the profits from working with China.
>>519518909Looks funWell another cyclical capitalist energy crisis moment
>>519519392You only hear about the cutting edge chips being advertised to you, the latest 5nm processors for your phone and computer CPU/GPU and stuff. For the unglamorous chips made on older 22+nm processors that are in all your appliances, cars, etc, they're mostly made in China.
>>519519641No they aren’t retard. America has almost 100 active semiconductor fabs, more than any other country on earth.
>>519518431I wouldn't entirely put it past Euros, but I don't think its as simple as that. Setting aside China's retaliatory measures related to this specific company (ie export controls on the production that takes place in China that the company depends on to function), this act of piracy has major implications on foreign investment in Europe. They had to spuriously invoke wartime measures meant for requisitioning things like food and strategic resources during war. This move sends a strong message to anyone looking to do business in Europe that they have no rule of law and their investments can be stolen on a whim.
>>519519392holy retard. even your pc and your phone and your router and your keyboard and your mouse ar eusing chinese semiconductors right now>b-but it says made in japan/taiwan!!!gullible goyim will be gullible
>>519519966and remember they'll take your money, freeze your bank accounts or outright steal your fucking gold if you trust themthey'll not pay their electricity imports, their gas imports and still demand that you fulfill your side of the bargainthey'll unilaterally ban your agricultural products while trying to force you to buy theirs at extreme markupsthey'll demand to be payed in dollars or euros and not accept local currenciesthey'll import so many niggers and arabs and poojeets that they'll finally commit suicideand they think going to war with russia is going to be a breeze and put them back at the top of the world>we'll see how it goes for them, I think they should continue
>>519519898Great, you should inform Europe so they can stop tripping, America can fulfill all the orders that Nexperia won't be able to. You guys are going to offer your European allies prices competitive with China like you did with natural gas shipments after Nordstream had an oopsie, right?
>>519520150My laptop was made in Vietnam entirely using Taiwanese chips. My desktop PC was built using 100% Taiwanese components, except the case, which is just basic cheap aluminum manufacturing. My phone was “made” in China, but none of the high value components inside it were made in China.
>>519514789china didn't blow up the pipeline that fueled Germany's industry
>>519520244It's called diplomacy. If Europe doesn't flex zir muscles, who will believe zhe has the strength to defeat China?
>>519520387They might have. Europe still hasn't figured out who was behind it.
>>519520555lol we knew who did it the moment it happened
>>519520358Vietnam is a communist country that murdered 60,000+ American heroes in cold blood. Why are you doing business with them?
>>519520387Why does anyone care about a pipleline where nobody died when Russia is blowing up american and european refineries and europeans are dying?
>>519520555they did, that's why 3 separate investigations concluded and declined publicizing results "for security reasons"
>>519520632Some literal who Polish politician schizo posting on twitter dosen't mean anything. The formal investigation concluded that it could have been anyone.
>>519519442>That's capitalism. They'd be violating their legal fiduciary duty to their shareholders if they didn't do that.That's actually not "capitalism" and it is one of the most socialist policies in the world. Why do corporations have a "fiduciary duty to their shareholders" to begin with? Who arbitrary decided that one day? And why do all corporations have to follow such guidelines? It's the same with the concept of a "corporation" in general aka another government invention forced upon the free market. You know such a concept didn't exist until the late 1800s.
>>519520635I don’t care about that. The plan is to use them temporarily in order to decouple from the chinks while building up our own manufacturing capacity at home that will eventually onshore all electronics production back here again.
>>519520749lol ok
>>519520860This, Russia admitted to interfering in US election, you just got to find the right person to admit it.
>>519513250They tried to nationalize Nexperia but singlehandedly destroyed chip market because the Amerimutts forced them to do so if only we never joined NATO and stayed neutral
>>519520967the reason they are able to do this is because of how much Europe's economy depends on the US. the smart thing to do would be to decouple completely from the US, since they have proven time and time again to be unreliable.
>>519520749>>519520555>11 seething posts by this IDIt's common knowledge at this point it was the Americans to keep the Euros committed to the war in Ukraine and to cannibalize their industries at the same time:>https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/how-america-took-out-the-nord-stream>>519520842>The plan is to use them temporarily in order to decouple from the chinks while building up our own manufacturing capacity at home that will eventually onshore all electronics production back here again.Completely delusional - that manufacturing capacity is never coming back to the USA and would take decades if the USA was serious about it. Trump just made sure whatever was left will be completely destroyed.

>>519513250Epic thread desuEpic and very scary :(I think there's more sense in this thread on the subject in general than outside it.God help us all
>>519521056Europe is both the victim and lead investigator, and she hasn't accused America. Far be it for me to pull such baseless accusations out of my ass. Europe is a strong independent lady, I'm in no position to second guess her conclusions and deny the truth of her lived experience.

>>519521219>said, russia should take the tariffs more seriously instead of laughing them off?I remember. Putin laughed, but he's not laughing now that the Europe slammed him with the 19th sanction package.
>>519521743Lmao !
>>519522031If the sanctions aren't working then I guess keep them on.
>>519513789>All China does is box themAre you retarded?Packaging is the most expensive part of this and its not merely boxing them.
>>519521219Putin mistook Europe's olive branch for weakness and left her DM's on "seen", thinking he was a chad stringing along a desperate victim. Europe is no victim and is not desperate, she sees through his petty games.

There's Kyvites that were 14 when Putins 3 day SMO started that have been edging for their chance to put vatniks in body bags for years and are now ripe for action. >do you know he carries a briefcase of shit?Tell me about the fecal briefcase.

>>519524006It's not an allegory, smokes went from $5 to $15 a pack. Even if I smoked just as much, paying more for smokes means I can't afford to abuse my body with other vices. Thankfully mass migration has put a bodega on every street corner that illegally sells tax free Indian reserve smokes for $3.50 a pack, so I'm rich as a Chinaman in terms of Purchasing Power Parity now.

>>519524849>Last year China built over 40GW of new coal generation. This year it's on track to add more than that.China keeps building modern coal plants, but they're retiring older, dirtier coal plants. The net electricity produced from coal isn't increasing. It's like how Europe's new energy projects don't actually increase capacity.
