Headline: UNCAPTIONED: China Pressures Netherlands Over Chip Controls, Warns of Supply Chain Risks
Caption: China Pressures Netherlands Over Chip Controls, Warns of Supply Chain Risks. China has urged the Netherlands to immediately reverse what it calls serious policy errors, accusing The Hague of undermining the stability of the global semiconductor supply chain. Beijing's commerce ministry criticized Dutch authorities for intervening in the chipmaker Nexperia, saying the move showed a lack of responsibility toward global supply security. Last September, the Netherlands took control of Nexperia, a local subsidiary of Chinese-owned Wingtech, citing concerns that technology and production could be transferred to China. China responded by blocking exports of Nexperia's chips, many of which are packaged inside China, escalating tensions between the two countries. Dutch Economic Affairs Minister Vincent Karremans has defended the intervention, saying it was necessary despite being controversial. China, however, insists the decision has triggered disruption across the semiconductor industry and says the Netherlands must take full responsibility for the fallout.
