Commenting on the Dutch Minister of Economic Affairs Vincent Karremans' remarks in an interview with Dutch media claiming that tough measures against Nexperia were indeed necessary, a spokesperson from China's Ministry of Commerce said on Wednesday that the Chinese side has repeatedly emphasized that the Dutch side's improper administrative intervention in the internal corporate affairs of Nexperia has already triggered a crisis in the global semiconductor supply chain, and the Dutch side must bear full responsibility for this.

It is perplexing that, in the face of anxiety and unease across the global industry, the Dutch side remains indifferent and stubbornly clings to its position, showing no sense of responsibility whatsoever for the security of the global semiconductor industry and supply chain, and taking no substantive actions. China once again calls on the Dutch side not to act willfully and recklessly, to immediately correct its mistakes, and to remove obstacles to restoring stability and security in the global semiconductor industry and supply chain, the spokesperson noted.
