The new prime minister of the Netherlands, Dick Schoof, said the country has to be “very careful” in its discussions with China related to national security, with his government set to confront questions about exports of sensitive chip-making equipment.
“I’m very well aware that we have to be very careful at our eastern border in Europe but also with all our discussions with China in relation to national security,” former spy chief Schoof told Bloomberg News late Tuesday, shortly after being sworn in as the country’s new premier.
