The Dutch government said on Nov. 19 that it suspended the intervention in Nexperia, handing back control of the Netherlands-based chipmaker to its Chinese owner.

Dutch Economy Minister Vincent Karremans announced the reversal in a statement on X, saying that suspending the order invoked under the Cold War-era Goods Availability Act regarding Nexperia represents “a show of goodwill.”
