China repeats call for Dutch takeover of Nexperia to be canceled

China’s commerce minister Wang Wentao in a video call with European Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic on Wednesday reiterated Beijing’s position that the Netherlands should cancel its September 30 seizure of Nexperia, as well as a Dutch court order last month that stripped Chinese firm Wingtech of its control over the Netherlands-based chipmaker.

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decision last week to suspend its seizure of Nexperia fell short of Beijing’s demand that the intervention be fully withdrawn.
