The Dutch government said the pause followed “constructive” meetings with Chinese officials and noted that Beijing has resumed shipments of essential automotive chips, which had been halted last month and threatened production lines in the United States and Europe.
Amsterdam originally seized control of Nexperia in September under U.S. pressure after Washington blacklisted its parent company, Wingtech Technologies, on national-security grounds. China responded by restricting Nexperia’s exports.

Dutch Economic Affairs Minister Vincent Karremans called the suspension a “constructive step,” while China’s commerce ministry welcomed the move as “a first step in the right direction.” EU trade chief Maroš Šefčovič also praised the decision.
The detente follows recent talks between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, which helped secure chip export exemptions.
