The Netherlands government announced on Oct. 12 that it is taking control of a Dutch chipmaker over concerns about the potential transfer of crucial technology to its Chinese parent company.

Nexperia, which manufactures semiconductors for cars and consumer electronics, is owned by Jiaxing-based company Wingtech, which is partially owned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
