China and Netherlands discuss Nexperia and trade cooperation
China has expressed its willingness to address trade and economic issues with the Netherlands through dialogue, Wang Wentao said while meeting his Dutch counterpart on the sidelines of a WTO conference in Cameroon.
The discussions included bilateral cooperation in the semiconductor sector and matters related to the chipmaker Nexperia, according to a statement from the Chinese commerce ministry, although further details were not disclosed.
Tensions between the two countries rose last year after Dutch authorities seized Nexperia from its Chinese parent company, Wingtech, in October 2025. Earlier this month, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi welcomed positive signals from the new Dutch government regarding bilateral relations.
The talks highlight ongoing efforts to stabilize trade ties and ensure smooth semiconductor supply chains amid global technology competition.
