Car companies across Europe and Japan including Volvo, Volkswagen, Honda and Nissan have warned that the battle between the Netherlands and China over control of the chip-maker Nexperia could hit production at factories.

- Lisa O'Carroll

Last week's decision by the Dutch government to take control of Nexperia - a Chinese-owned chipmaker based in the Netherlands - has sent shock waves through the industry, which is already facing potential shortages amid China's latest restrictions on rare earths exports.

The Hague said at the time it was taking control of Nexperia to safeguard Europe's supply of semiconductors and that it had invoked a cold-war era law to take effective control of the chipmaker following concerns raised by the US about the Chinese owner, Wingtech.
