REUTERS/Jonas WalzbergThe Chinese government said on Saturday it is waiting for concrete actions by the Netherlands to resolve a dispute over chipmaker Nexperia that has led to shortages of the company's chips and threatened car production. The Netherlands intervened at Nexperia, a major maker of basic chips used in the electrical systems of cars, on Sept 30, saying it had to do so to prevent the company from moving production from Europe to China. China responded by blocking export of the company's finished products on Oct 4, leading to shortages. China has begun offering carmakers exemptions to export restrictions on a case-by-case basis, following a deal with the US.
