    The Chinese perspective was actually more informative; I had more questions than answers after the first article.

    For any other country, buying a company to gain the patents and knowledge of that company is completely normal and business as usual. But for some reason China isn’t even allowed to buy knowledge, and when they do they are still accused of stealing it!?!?

    Chairman Zhang Xuezheng was suspended from Nexperia’s boards by an Amsterdam court order on October 6, and an independent non-Chinese person with a “deciding vote” would be appointed in his place, Wingtech said

    Ja, we nationalised the company and installed a white guy as king

    fascinating, will dutch people receive free housing, or do Chinese citizens have to purchase the housing before it can be acquired by the government?

      Not surprised a user from a tankie instance is angry about a western country imposing rules on a domestic company for reasons of national security, but is completely fine with China allowing barely any western countries in their market at all and, when they are, enforcing that they must be run by Chinese and have a close relationship with the government.

      It’s bad when the west takes an inch, but it’s good when China takes a mile.

      Man, can you imagine the uproar if China required companies to have local people on the company’s board to be able to operate in China?

      What horrible government would allow that?!?
