China will continue to support Chinese firms to safeguard their legitimate rights, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian at a regular press briefing in Beijing on Thursday.
Lin made the remarks in response to a media inquiry about internal disputes of the chipmaker Nexperia.
"Competent authorities have stated our position on the Nexperia issue on multiple occasions. The root cause of the Nexperia issue is the improper administrative intervention of the Dutch side in the operations of businesses. The Dutch side needs to create enabling conditions for companies to resolve internal disputes as soon as possible and for keeping global semiconductor supply chains stable and unimpeded. China will continue supporting Chinese companies in safeguarding their legitimate and lawful rights and interests," Lin said.

China will make an objective and impartial final ruling over an anti-dumping probe in canola seed imports from Canada, the Ministry of Commerce said at a regular press briefing on Thursday.
The investigation, launched on Sept 9, 2024, has been extended to March 9, 2026 due to the complexity of the case, according to He Yadong, spokesman for the Ministry.
"During Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to China this January, both sides reached specific arrangements for properly resolving economic and trade issues in areas such as electric vehicles, steel and aluminum products, canola seeds, and agricultural and aquatic products. Canada will make positive adjustments to its unilateral measures targeting Chinese electric vehicles, steel and aluminum products. In response, China will adjust its anti-discrimination measures in accordance with relevant laws and regulations," He said.
"Given the complexity of the case, the anti-dumping investigation in Canadian canola imports has been extended to March 9, 2026. The Ministry of Commerce will issue an arbitration notice prior to this date. Within the framework of relevant regulations, the Ministry of Commerce will fully consider Canada's reasonable claims and make an objective and fair final ruling based on facts and evidence," he said.
