It is very difficult to fire someone in the Netherlands.

Might be possible to source less and less from the Netherlands part of the company. My understanding is both the Netherlands and Chinese part were involved in the manufacturing of the final product, with the Chinese part doing the final bit. So Nexperia needs to gradually do more manufacturing in China. Once there is less to do for Nexperia Netherlands, jobs will naturally go.

The critical part is wafer production in Europe. I am pretty sure that in a few months these same wafers would be produced in China instead. The people EU who are "necessary" would be given a choice to relocate to China or get fired.
