China presses Netherlands for action amid Nexperia chip-maker dispute
China demands Dutch action over Nexperia dispute, raising chip-supply and geo-tech risks.
China’s Commerce Ministry said it is awaiting “concrete action” from the Netherlands to resolve its dispute with Chinese-owned chip-maker Nexperia, following Dutch government intervention that seized control of the company’s operations.
The issue has triggered warnings of shocks to auto-industry chip supplies as Nexperia supplies semiconductor components for vehicles globally. Analysts say the case highlights rising geotech tensions in supply chains and may push firms to diversify production away from Europe and China.
The next step: Beijing will host Dutch delegates for talks, signalling escalation potential.
