Between Nov 1–10, 2025 China announced and partially implemented exemptions to export restrictions on Nexperia, the Dutch chipmaker owned by China’s Wingtech, easing a disruption triggered when the Netherlands seized Nexperia on 2025-09-30; Beijing had blocked finished-chip exports from Nexperia’s Dongguan plant—components integral to vehicle switches, sensors, power regulation and airbags. On Nov 9 the Ministry of Commerce granted exemptions for certain chips for “civilian use,” with deliveries reportedly resuming to German and Japanese automakers and Volkswagen China confirming initial exports; EU officials agreed to simplify procedures. The broader U.S.–China truce from Oct 30 included related mineral and export concessions, China suspended some dual-use bans through 2026-11-27 and waived U.S. port fees for one year from 2025-11-10. Risks remain: Nexperia warned on 2025-10-13 it cannot guarantee quality of China-made chips and “civilian use” is undefined; the outcome is partial relief but continued supply-chain and regulatory uncertainty.
