One thing that is crucial to remember here:
This does not return Nexperia to Chinese ownership. The court ruling on October 7 ousted the CEO, not the Goods Availability Act.
This unfreezes restrictions on moving assets + IP out of Europe, but Wing remains frozen out

If Brussels wants to get the same treatment, it will have to offer something in return. But as an entirely legalistic entity, it's not clear to me that the EU could do this.
What would China want? The most obvious thing is lifting controls on ASML EUV equipment sales to China
