DetailsThe Chinese unit of Dutch chipmaker Nexperia said on Sunday that it had built up “sufficient inventories of finished goods and work-in-progress.” The supply chain remains robust and stable after the parent company suspended wafer supplies.
In addition, new suppliers of wafers, preliminary products for microchips, are already being sought.
Context The Dutch company Nexperia suspended wafer supplies to its assembly plant in China on October 26 due to “violations” by the administration in China of “agreed contractual payment terms.” Earlier, the Dutch government took control of Nexperia, separating it from its Chinese owner Wingtech Technology.
RecallChina has increased its global competitiveness in some areas highlighted in the previous plan, such as electric vehicles and biotechnology. The development of its own semiconductor supply chain has also become a key task amid growing geopolitical tensions.
US President Donald Trump said that further talks between Beijing and Nvidia would take place after his meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. This indicates no significant change in Washington’s control over technology exports.
