China's Ministry of Commerce on Tuesday urged the Netherlands to stop interfering in internal corporate affairs and work toward a constructive solution to the issue of the semiconductor manufacturer Nexperia.
A spokesperson for the ministry made the remarks when asked to comment on recent issues related to Nexperia, an overseas subsidiary of Chinese company Wingtech.
The spokesperson said the Dutch side failing to take concrete actions to resolve the issue will inevitably deepen the adverse impact on the global semiconductor supply chain, an outcome neither the Chinese side nor the global industry wishes to see.
China hopes the Dutch side, with the goal of maintaining China-Netherlands and China-Europe economic and trade relations as well as the stability and security of industrial and supply chains, can act responsibly and work in the same direction with China, the spokesperson said.
China will firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises, and strive to maintain the stable and smooth operation of the global semiconductor supply chain, the spokesperson said.

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said in a social media post on Sunday that he had exchanged views with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov on the ongoing regional conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran.
In the phone call, Araghchi noted that the United States and Israel have been attacking Iran's industrial infrastructure, hospitals, schools, residential areas, and nuclear facilities, emphasizing the need for urgent action by relevant international institutions, especially the International Atomic Energy Agency, to condemn these attacks and hold the aggressors accountable.
Araghchi also referred to the U.S. threats to attack Iranian energy facilities, saying this rhetoric is a clear admission of committing war crimes.
Meanwhile, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a press release on Sunday that the two ministers stressed that "reckless and illegal attacks" on Iran's civilian, industrial and energy facilities, including the Bushehr nuclear power plant, must be halted.
They warned that such actions pose a threat to the plant workers' lives and health and could lead to a radioactive disaster affecting the broader region.
The ministers spoke out against any actions that could undermine the remaining chances for promoting political and diplomatic efforts to settle the crisis.
Lavrov expressed the hope that efforts by certain countries to de-escalate the tensions around Iran would succeed, adding that the United States' abandoning the language of ultimatums and returning to negotiations would be instrumental.
