Responding to media inquiries on the Nexperia issue, China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) spokesperson He Yadong said Chinese side reiterated that the Dutch government has failed to respond constructively to China's reasonable demands during recent consultations, leading to the exacerbation of the global supply chain crisis. The ministry stressed that the Dutch government should bear full responsibility for these disruptions.

He Yadong said at the ministry's Thursday press conference that the Dutch government's improper interference in Nexperia's internal affairs has caused significant disruptions and chaos in the global semiconductor supply chain.

Despite China's repeated reasonable requests during consultations on the Nexperia issue, the Dutch side failed to show constructive attitude or action and instead escalated the global supply chain crisis. The Dutch side should bear full responsibility for these consequences, said the ministry's spokesperson.

China, acting responsibly for the stability and security of the global semiconductor supply chain, has promptly related export license applications from Chinese exporters and has granted export exemptions for qualified cases and work to help Nexperia's China unit to resume supply, said the spokesperson.

"China hopes the Netherlands, from the standpoint of safeguarding overall China-Netherlands and China-EU economic and trade relations as well as the stability and security of global supply chains, will act responsibly and meet China halfway," He said. "The Dutch side should stop interfering in corporate internal affairs and find a constructive solution to the Nexperia issue."
