The Dutch government said on Wednesday that it was handing back control of the chipmaker Nexperia to its Chinese parent company, in an effort to ease tensions that had flared after the Netherlands was caught in a tussle between Washington and Beijing over electronics supply chains.

荷兰政府周三表示，将把芯片制造商安世半导体的控制权交还给其中国母公司，以缓解因荷兰陷入美中电子供应链争端而引发的紧张局势。

Dutch officials made the decision after consulting with the European and international partners and “constructive meetings” with the Chinese authorities, the Dutch economic affairs minister, Vincent Karremans, said in a social media post.

荷兰经济大臣文森特·卡雷曼斯在社交媒体发文称，荷兰官员在与欧洲及国际伙伴协商，并与中国当局举行“建设性会议”后，作出了这一决定。

The Dutch government had taken over Nexperia, which is owned by the Chinese company Wingtech, on Sept. 30, after the United States expanded a trade blacklist that meant Nexperia would face strict controls on its operations. The Netherlands said then that company decisions would be determined by Mr. Karremans, and that it had taken that step in an effort to prevent Nexperia’s products from becoming unavailable in an emergency.

9月30日，美国扩大贸易黑名单导致安世半导体的运营将面临严格管控，荷兰政府随后接管了这家由中国闻泰科技控股的公司。荷兰方面当时表示，公司决策将由卡雷曼斯大臣决定，采取这一步骤是为了防止安世半导体的产品在紧急情况下断供。

Nexperia has headquarters in the Dutch city of Nijmegen and employs thousands of people across Europe, the United States and Asia. It operates a supply chain that spans the globe, designing and manufacturing older types of chips used in cars and electronics.

安世半导体总部位于荷兰奈梅亨市，在欧洲、美国和亚洲拥有数以千计的员工。该公司拥有遍布全球的供应链，设计并制造用于汽车和电子产品的成熟制程芯片。

The uncertainty over the availability of Nexperia’s chips had raised concerns of a global shortage among automakers like Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz, which use the chips to power systems like windshield wipers and brakes. The Japanese automaker Nissan said earlier this month that it would cut production at two plants because of a lack of the chips.

安世半导体芯片供应的不确定性引发了大众、奔驰等车企对全球芯片短缺的担忧，这些芯片用于驱动雨刷和刹车等系统。日本车企日产本月早些时候表示，因缺少这类芯片，将削减两家工厂的产量。

The company is just one of those caught in the battle for the global chip industry, in which both the United States and China have claimed authority over supply chains for semiconductors and rare earth minerals, critical components for today’s technologies.

该公司只是卷入全球芯片产业争夺战的众多企业之一。美中两国均声称要主导半导体和稀土矿物的供应链，而这些都是当今科技产品的关键组成部分。

Mr. Karremans gave no details of the reasons behind Wednesday’s decision but said it had been taken “as a show of good will.”

卡雷曼斯未透露周三这一决定背后的具体原因，但表示此举旨在“展现善意”。

“We are positive about the measures already taken by the Chinese authorities to ensure the supply of chips to Europe and the rest of the world,” he said in the statement. He said that talks with the Chinese authorities would continue.

“我们对中国当局为确保向欧洲及全球其他地区供应芯片所采取的措施持积极态度，”他在声明中说，并指出与中国当局的会谈将继续进行。

The U.S. Department of Commerce placed trade restrictions on Wingtech last December. In June, American officials told the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs that Nexperia could be next, unless the company replaced its Chinese chief executive, Zhang Xuezheng.

美国商务部去年12月对闻泰科技实施了贸易限制。今年6月，美国官员告知荷兰外交部，除非安世半导体更换其中国籍首席执行官张学政，否则该公司将成为下一个被制裁的对象。
