After the Netherlands seized control of Chinese-owned chipmaker Nexperia, tensions have erupted inside the company. Nexperia’s China arm accused headquarters of cutting off salaries and system access — claims the Dutch unit calls “false and misleading,” according to Nikkei Asia.
The clash shows the strain rippling through the company since The Hague’s rare intervention, which placed Nexperia under state oversight and suspended its China-linked leadership.
In a statement to Nikkei Asia, Nexperia’s European headquarters rejected the allegations. The company said messages circulating from individuals in its China operations wrongly claimed that the Dutch government and headquarters had abandoned the Chinese market and that employees were no longer being paid.
Nexperia said it has reported the matter to authorities and reaffirmed its commitment to both its staff and customers in China. The company added that operations remain uninterrupted, even as it navigates government-imposed restrictions under Dutch takeover.
The rebuttal signals an effort to contain unrest and reassure partners, turning a state intervention into a test of governance and control for one of Europe’s most scrutinized chipmakers.
