China urges Dutch action on Nexperia chip dispute in talks with German minister

China Commerce Minister Wang Wentao on Wednesday called for "practical actions" from the Netherlands to resolve the Nexperia dispute that has roiled global chip supply chains, in a video call with Germany's economic affairs and energy minister, a statement from his ministry showed on Thursday.

Wang told his German counterpart, Katherina Reiche, the global semiconductor supply chain remains very fragile as the Dutch side has not lifted its "improper administrative and judicial intervention in enterprise."

The Dutch government's decision last week to suspend its seizure of Nexperia fell short of Beijing's demand that the intervention be fully withdrawn.
