China urges Dutch government to create conditions for settling Nexperia dispute

The Netherlands should "create favorable conditions" for settling internal disputes regarding chipmaker Nexperia as soon as possible and maintain the stability of the global chips supply chain, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said on Thursday.

"The root cause of the Nexperia issue was improper administrative intervention by the Dutch side in the operation of enterprises," ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said during a regular press briefing.

China will continue to support Chinese enterprises in safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests, Lin added.
