‘Minister Karremans draws a line in the sand with chip conflict: China, this far and no further’

The intervention by Minister Karremans of Economic Affairs at chip producer Nexperia led to a diplomatic row with China. Robbert Ophorst and Martin Visser discuss in Kwestie van Centen with tech reporter Vian Schouten what has happened since the minister stopped the Chinese. “We have been naive all these years and only thought about trade with China.” How will this end for Nexperia’s Nijmegen head office? “It appears that Nexperia wants to separate itself from the Chinese owner.” The podcast Kwestie van Centen can also be listened to via Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
