BEIJING/AMSTERDAM, Nov 4 (Reuters) - China's commerce

ministry on Tuesday accused the Netherlands of not working with

Beijing to resolve the dispute surrounding the Dutch

government's seizure of chipmaker Nexperia and warned of further

supply chain disruptions as a result.

The Dutch government took control of Nexperia on September

30 due to concerns about its Chinese parent Wingtech

.

The Chinese commerce ministry's accusation of continued

Dutch inaction on the dispute underscores the difficulty of the

Netherlands and China agreeing to a long-term solution for the

ownership of Nexperia, which makes large volumes of basic chips

used in cars.

"The Dutch side continues to act unilaterally without

taking concrete steps to resolve the issue, which will

inevitably exacerbate the adverse impact on the global

semiconductor supply chain," China's commerce ministry said in a

statement published on its official website.

"This is something neither China nor the global industry

wishes to see."

A spokesperson for the Dutch economic affairs ministry,

which intervened in Nexperia's governance, told Reuters that

talks between both governments were still underway.

"We remain in contact with the Chinese authorities and our

international partners to work toward a constructive solution

that is good for Nexperia and our economies," the spokesperson

said on Tuesday.

Beijing's warning of further disruptions comes as

European automotive suppliers rush for exemptions to Chinese

export restrictions on Nexperia products made in China that were

imposed days after the Dutch government's seizure.

While most of Nexperia's chips are produced in Europe,

around 70% are packaged in China before distribution.

The resulting chip shortages have threatened to halt

assembly lines and lead to worker furloughs in Europe.

Industries dependent on Nexperia's chips are waiting for a

political solution to the trade dispute after the White House

announced last week, following talks between U.S. President

Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, that Beijing

"would take appropriate measures to ensure the resumption of

trade from Nexperia's facilities in China."

EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic said on Monday that there had

been "progress" in talks on Nexperia involving the Dutch and

Chinese governments, without elaborating further.
