China warns of fresh chip crisis as Nexperia dispute flares up

China's commerce ministry has warned that the Dutch side must be held accountable if the ongoing dispute between Nexperia and its Chinese subsidiary leads to another global chip supply crisis. The ministry stated that Nexperia's actions have disrupted normal operations, and if this escalates, the Dutch side will bear full responsibility. Nexperia's Chinese subsidiary accused the Dutch headquarters of disabling employee access to office accounts, causing significant operational disruptions. Despite diplomatic efforts to stabilize the situation, tensions remain, potentially threatening the global automotive semiconductor supply chain.
