Dutch government intervenes at Chinese-owned computer chip firm Nexperia

In a statement, the Ministry of Economic Affairs said it its intervention is a reaction to administrative shortcomings at the company, and will allow it to reverse or block harmful decisions while production may continue. A spokesperson for the company said Nexperia adheres to "all existing laws and regulations, export controls and sanction regimes."  (Reporting by Toby Sterling; editing by Diane Craft)
