Nexperia, Chinese-owned but based in the Netherlands, makes billions of simple but ubiquitous chips that auto suppliers use in parts ranging from brakes and electric windows to lights and entertainment systems.

Nissan Motor will cut production of its top-selling Rogue SUV in Japan by about 900 vehicles from next week due to a short supply of chips from Nexperia, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Germany, home to major automakers such as Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, said it was lobbying China in the interests of German customers of Nexperia through all available channels.

European carmakers and suppliers have rushed to apply to China for Nexperia chip export exemptions, which need to be paid for in Chinese currency, or have sought alternative suppliers.

Sure and when was the last time a company in Europe was nationalized for similar reasons? That's right, it never happens, except to targets of the empire. Mismanagement? Corruption? Tax fraud? They are ubiquitous. European politicians see it as their foremost duty to protect the guilty CEOs, stakeholders and companies.

I'm not disputing that company being tied China had an impact in the assessment, but presenting it as the only reason is disingenuous and that seems to be the narrative the media.

To give a few examples: Talvivaara Sotkamo Ltd in Finland, Parex Bank in Latvia, Snoras in Lithuania.
