AMSTERDAM, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Nexperia, a Dutch-based
computer chip maker, will comply with U.S. restrictions after
its Chinese parent company Wingtech was put on the
U.S. Department of Commerce's "entity list", a spokesperson said
on Tuesday.
"The listing subjects Wingtech's access to U.S. technology
to licensing requirements," the spokesperson said. "These do not
apply to Nexperia or its subsidiaries. Nexperia will comply with
the U.S. restrictions as these apply to its interactions with
Wingtech."
Nexperia is one of the world's largest makers of simple
computer chips such as diodes and transistors, and this year it
moved to expand operations in Hamburg, Germany.
The Commerce Department said on Monday it had added
Wingtech and several Chinese investment firms to the list due to
their efforts to acquire chip manufacturing technology critical
to the defence industry of the U.S. and its allies.
