China’s Commerce Minister warned that the Dutch state’s move to take control of Chinese-owned chipmaker Nexperia has “seriously affected” the stability of the global supply chain.

The minister, Wang Wentao, urged the Dutch to urgently resolve the issue, according to a Chinese government readout of a call with Dutch Economic Affairs Minister Vincent Karremans.
