At least 45 Communist Party committees have been set up at Dutch companies operating in China, broadcaster NOS said on Tuesday.
Party committees are a long-established aspect of doing business in China but the extent of their involvement in Dutch companies has not been established before, NOS said.
The information comes from leaked documents which have been circulating on Telegram and which ended up with the Inter Parliamentary Alliance on China, an grouping of some 200 MPs from different countries, NOS said. CDA MP Martijn van Helvert and splinter party MP Henk Krol are Dutch co-chairs of the alliance.
