Ministry of Commerce spokesman answers reporters' questions about Dutch Economy Minister Karemans's interview

A reporter asked: Recently, Dutch Economy Minister Karemans said in an interview with Dutch media that it is indeed necessary to take tough measures against Anshi Semiconductor. What comments does a Ministry of Commerce spokesperson have on this?

A: We have taken note of the reports you mentioned. The Chinese side has emphasized many times that the Dutch side's improper administrative intervention in the internal affairs of Anshi semiconductor companies has led to a crisis in the global semiconductor supply chain, and the Dutch side must bear full responsibility for this. What is puzzling is that in the face of anxiety and unease in the global industry, the Dutch side is still indifferent and stubborn. It has not shown any responsible attitude towards the safety of the global semiconductor supply chain, let alone any substantial action. China once again calls on the Dutch side not to stand idly by; it should immediately correct its mistakes and clear up obstacles to restoring the stability and safety of the global semiconductor production and supply chain.
