BEIJING, Feb 13 (Reuters) – Restoring stability to global semiconductor supply chains ​is the ‌top priority, China’s commerce ministry said Friday in response to a Dutch ‌court ​ruling earlier ⁠this week on ⁠Nexperia, according to a statement published on the ministry’s website.

The ministry ​urged the Dutch side to meet ⁠China half ⁠way and create ​favorable conditions for companies ​to resolve internal disputes.

A Dutch ‌court on Wednesday ordered an investigation into mismanagement at chipmaker ⁠Nexperia BV and upheld an October decision to suspend ⁠former ‌CEO Zhang Xuezheng, ⁠the founder ​of ‌Nexperia’s Chinese parent Wingtech <600745.SS>, ​saying ⁠the company needs stability.
