AMSTERDAM (Reuters) -Nexperia BV, the Dutch chipmaker, said on Sunday it welcomed recent statements by the U.S. and Chinese governments removing barriers to the company shipping its chips, but it declined to comment on statements made by its Chinese subsidiary that it will accelerate steps towards becoming independent.
Nexperia said its focus is now on ensuring the stability of supply to customers. The Dutch government said separately it is continuing talks with the Chinese and other governments, and industry, on a “constructive way forward” for Nexperia.
A fight over control of Nexperia, which makes large volumes of basic chips used in cars, has led to shortages and alarmed automakers around the globe.
