Bloomberg stated that this means that the control of Anshi Semiconductor Company has been returned to its central owner.

Karemans announced on the 13th local time that a delegation from the Dutch government will travel to China "early next week" to seek solutions to issues related to Ansea Semiconductor, a subsidiary of Chinese company Wentai Technology.

On November 13th, a spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Commerce stated that since the outbreak of the Anshi Semiconductor issue, China has been taking a responsible attitude towards the stability and security of the global semiconductor supply chain, and has held multiple rounds of consultations with the Dutch side, and has agreed to the request of the Dutch Ministry of Economy to send representatives to China for consultations. We hope that the Dutch side will demonstrate a sincere willingness to cooperate with the Chinese side, propose substantive and constructive solutions to the problem as soon as possible, and take practical actions to quickly and effectively restore the security and stability of the global semiconductor supply chain from the source.

The translation of the original text by Karemans is as follows:

Given recent developments and in close consultation with our European and international partners, I believe it is now the appropriate time to take constructive steps by suspending the directives I issued under the Goods Availability Act regarding Ansei Semiconductor.

In the past few days, we have had constructive meetings with China. We hold a positive attitude towards the measures that China has taken to ensure the supply of chips to Europe and the world.

We consider this as a manifestation of goodwill. In the coming period, we will continue to engage in constructive dialogue with China. ”

The dispute can be traced back to September 30th, when the Dutch government used a regulation issued during the Cold War more than 70 years ago to take over semiconductor manufacturer Ansei Semiconductor, controlled by Chinese enterprise Wentai Technology, citing "serious management deficiencies" and potential threats to national security.

Since then, the "Anshi Rebellion" instigated by the Dutch government has continued to ferment, from tough takeover to pressure to cut off wafer supply. It has now caused turbulence and chaos in the global semiconductor supply chain, and the global automotive industry is facing the challenge of "chip shortage".

According to Caixin News Agency, Bosch revealed on Tuesday that due to the Anse dispute, the German automotive supply chain is still struggling to cope with the global chip supply shortage. The company's three factories in Germany and Portugal are facing production disruptions, which will affect thousands of workers.
