AMSTERDAM, Nov 1 (Reuters) - The Dutch government and

Nexperia on Saturday declined to comment on media reports that

the White House plans to announce a resumption of shipments from

Dutch chipmaker Nexperia's Chinese facilities.

Reuters cited a source familiar with the matter on Friday as

saying the White House would make such an announcement, which

would be a relief to automakers that face the prospect of

curbing production due to a shortage of vital chips.

The Netherlands said in a statement that it remained in

contact with the Chinese authorities and international partners

"to work toward a constructive solution that restores balance to

the chip supply chain and that is good for Nexperia and our

economies".

A spokesperson for Nexperia said that it had been

"continuously calling for a de-escalation of the current

events".

Last month, the Dutch government seized control of Nexperia,

owned by Chinese company Wingtech. The move prompted

Beijing to block Nexperia products from leaving China.
