At a recent regular press briefing, the foreign ministry of the Chinese mainland underscored the deep, complementary relationship between the Chinese mainland and the Netherlands in the semiconductor sector. Spokesperson Mao Ning emphasized that both sides will maintain close communication through established channels, keeping dialogue open and consistent.
“The semiconductor industry is highly globalized, and the formation of supply chains is driven by market dynamics and business decisions,” Mao noted. She cautioned against the overuse of export controls and long-arm jurisdiction under the banner of national security, warning that such measures threaten the stability of global supply chains.
Pointing to the strengths of each market—advanced chip design in the Netherlands and robust manufacturing capacity in the Chinese mainland—the spokesperson described cooperation as mutually beneficial. She pledged to work with the international community, including the Netherlands, to promote open collaboration and protect the stability of global semiconductor supply chains.
For young professionals and entrepreneurs tracking tech trends, this development highlights:
- Market-driven supply chains: Globalized collaboration across continents
- Risk factors: How policy shifts can ripple through chip production
- Opportunities: Shared R&D and scalable manufacturing partnerships
As the demand for semiconductors continues to surge—driven by AI, 5G, and electric vehicles—regular dialogue between major players like the Chinese mainland and the Netherlands could be key to keeping our gadgets running and industries humming.
