Minister Sjoerdsma will use the visit to discuss the Nexperia case with parent company Wingtech, whose control over the chipmaker remains severed pending a Dutch court ruling while Wingtech pursues compensation claims in a South Chinese court. The three-day visit splits between talks with Commerce Minister Wang Wentao in Beijing and a stop in Shanghai with a trade delegation that includes ASML, whose servicing of existing machines in China is threatened by a proposed US law that would override Dutch export controls. Sjoerdsma himself arrives under a shadow: Beijing placed him on a sanctions list in 2021 over a genocide motion and he later visited Taiwan to argue for deterrent sanctions against an invasion.
