German media: Beijing agrees to allow Dutch representatives to come for talks, the Nexperia controversy may be turning around
The supply dispute of chip manufacturer Nexperia continues to escalate. The Netherlands stated that they are confident. However, Beijing urged the Netherlands to put forward a substantial and constructive plan as soon as possible, take practical actions, and "statements should not remain only on words." In addition, China has agreed to the request of the Dutch side to send representatives to China for negotiations.
The dispute between China and the Netherlands over Nexperia continues to intensify, and Beijing requires The Hague to take more sincere actions. On Saturday, November 8, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce stated that it has not yet seen any practical actions from the Netherlands in stopping the infringement of the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises and restoring the stability of the global semiconductor supply chain. China hopes that the Netherlands' statements should not remain only on words, but should propose substantial and constructive plans and take practical actions as soon as possible. In addition, China has agreed to the request of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs to send personnel to China for negotiations.
This statement by the Ministry of Commerce is a response to a post by Dutch Minister of Economic Affairs Vincent Karremans on social media on November 6. Karremans said at that time that the Netherlands had launched constructive dialogue with Chinese authorities, and he believed that computer chips supplied by China would be delivered to customers in Europe and other parts of the world in the coming days. He said that the Netherlands will "support this progress and take appropriate measures when necessary."
In late September, the Dutch government took over the company, which is controlled by Chinese capital but headquartered in the Netherlands, citing security concerns about its parent company, Chinese firm Wingtech. Subsequently, Beijing imposed restrictions on the export of certain Nexperia chips, affecting many European car manufacturers. Nexperia's products are widely used in various electronic products such as automobiles. China had previously stated that it would grant exemptions for exports of Nexperia under specific conditions. Currently, some companies have stated that they have already obtained export licenses.
According to a report by Bloomberg on Friday, November 7, citing informed sources, the Dutch government is preparing to temporarily suspend its administrative order to take over Nexperia, provided that China restores the export of key chips. The report stated that if the delivery of chips is confirmed within the next few days, the Dutch authorities are willing to suspend the ministerial order as early as next week. However, this information has not been confirmed by Nexperia.
