Overview
- Wingtech, the Chinese owner of Nexperia in Nijmegen, says it will begin international arbitration to seek about $8 billion from the Dutch state.
- The company argues a 2025 government action and later Enterprise Chamber measures weakened its control of Nexperia and harmed its business and investors.
- The Dutch government says it stepped in to protect supply security after finding serious governance shortcomings at the chipmaker.
- Wingtech reports its auditor refused to approve its annual accounts, it booked a loss for 2025, and Nexperia’s planned Shanghai listing now faces risk.
- The case is expected to rely on the Netherlands–China investment treaty, a route that can take years and could shape how countries handle strategic tech assets.
