China has blocked the export of certain products produced by the Dutch chip company, Nexperia, according to Bloomberg. This is the same company that the Dutch government recently seized from its Chinese parent company to prevent the transfer of what it called “crucial technological knowledge” from leaving the country. This action appears to be retaliatory and highlights the increasingly multi-polar world that is developing under the umbrella of rapid global expansion in AI capabilities, and a rush to secure important strategic chip development resources.
Chinese trade relations with Western nations have been far more fractious in 2025 than in years past. Following increasingly aggressive global trade policies, China has pivoted from integrating with the wider global economy to focusing more on shoring up its own semiconductor development and nearer-to-hand trading partners. Many Western nations have mirrored this in turn, with the Dutch government’s latest actions appearing to be just one more example of nations ensuring their own supply of silicon above almost all else.
Have every product of the world depend on china is significantly worst. It seems everyone started to realise how bad it is and start pulling back. Except US, that maneuver is insane.
Just because shit didn’t happen now doesn’t mean the next in line won’t decide to shit the bed.
No, the US is just pressuring all of its vassals into disinvestment from China to secure its own power. That’s it.

You claim these are US vassal, but then you also said to secure their power. You don’t secure your power with your vassal if you’re already “own” those state.
The US has to constantly reinforce its control over its vassals or they will start thinking about independence.
The US is yanking Europe’s leash to keep them from getting ideas.
Your obsession of US is next level.
It’s the global hegemon? The US rules the world, that’s why the UN is powerless to stop a genocide.
And the UN is powerless to stop myanmar war and Afghanistan/pakistan conflict and Russia invasion of Ukraine as well, do you even understand how UN works? And the topic doesn’t contain US at all, no one want to hear about your obsession on US.
The genocide is the tip of the iceberg, the US lurks in the background of all current events. The US is forcing Europe to do austerity to pay for war with Ukraine and to buy US gas, Europe is basically being turned into an export colony for the US and so they aren’t allowed to trade with China. The dollar is the global reserve currency!
Do you just think the aanti-China sentiment in Europe is happening all on its own? You can’t just ignore the elephant in the room.
Yes the elephant in the room is someone currently trying to convince me there’s a secret illuminati that control the world behind everyone’s back and POTUS is a mecha-lizard with psychic ability that somehow also control Putin and Xi.
Also how many time you want to gymnast out of the topic you don’t understand? First it’s this news, then the UN, then the world. If you’re not tired of that much mental gymnastic, i’m tired and bored of it.
