#China #Nexperia #kritis
The Netherlands has taken control of Chinese semiconductor manufacturer Nexperia for security reasons.
No exact „why“ …

NL / @Wtebbens if anyone got better sources, would be thankful.

Nexperia: Niederlande haben Kontrolle über chinesischen Chiphersteller übernommen

Den Haag hat mit Verweis auf niederländische und europäische Sicherheitsinteressen die Aufsicht bei Nexperia übernommen. Nun kündigt die chinesische Mutterfirma an, Rechtsmittel zu prüfen.

Hi @sl007 , I just read it also in a Dutch newspaper. Indeed the don't want to clarify too much the reasons why. 2 reasons given: 1) the chinese CEO apparently abused power making Nexperia buy from another of his companies. 2) geopolitical: US put them on a list of export restricted companies -> apparently millions of chips (incl Nexperia) sold to China, smuggled to Russia found in drones and other weapons used against Ukraine.

@Wtebbens

it has lots of potential, these chips are nearly in each german car (e.g. VW, BMW) and now the industry warns the press about a potential collapse …

@sl007 yes I see now. So now they're under supervision by the ministry, negotiating with the Chinese.

@Wtebbens

I see.
"Ministry" and "Netherlands" sounds like an unstable conjunction to me 😉

They say if they don't get enough chips (by the probable monopoly) the belts will stand still.
