I must say I feel very vindicated by this. The seizure of control of the company just for appointing a CEO from China (the horror!) never smelled right to me, but everyone in the previous comment section on this tried to rationalize it with "There must be some legitimate national security reason for the Dutch to do this". Clearly not much of a threat for them to cave so quickly!

This wasn't because a Chinese CEO was appointed, it was because of his recent actions moving (apparantly critical) production away from the Netherlands. Where did you get this angle from?

The CEO is still out, the court did that (based on a case brought by other officers of the company). It can't be reversed by the Dutch government.

Anybody with an opinion I don't like is a Chinese bot.

Don't Chinese FULLY own nexperia though? And I don't think bots would have their name highlighted in green and write on a fringe website compared to reddit or youtube

> It was because he was directing funds to a Chinese company which did not make any business sense and leaking all kinds of intellectual property to China.

Oh no, not the free market! Is this a leopard eating our face?

I, for one, welcome our new Chinese overlords, and let IP be consigned to ash.

The free market should be used to benefit $my_country and should be ignored if it hurts my interests. If the free market is hurting my country, then why play by those rules when I can just use my other resources to get what I want?

Fuck the country, I want competition for myself. My neighbor getting rich doesn't benefit me at all; and having to buy his crap makes my life worse.
