Look at the speed of China and ASEAN. So much done in such a short time frame.

Meanwhile where are we regarding BRICS and SCO?

Looking at how the US menaces its neighbours like Cuba and Venezuela and I only just realised how similar it was to how India menaces its neighbours and has even invaded and annexed them

Americans pretending they're signing deals on RE is like a child lying to his parents about buying things with theit credit card.

China knows exactly whats needed to produce RE, as such China already knows what each country can and cant do long before those countries even knew themselves. China knows whos buying what materials, whos buying what equipment and what each action means in term of their capability and scope, and China knows exactly how long it'll take.

The fact that Americans are looking for sources of RE rather than investing in infrastructure and technology already tells you they have no idea what they're doing

Playing Devils advocate. Is a Free trade upgrade deal with ASEAN more effective than what trump is doing?

Can China make ASEAN countries align their entity list and sanctions list to China's requirements, like what Trump seemingly did with Malaysia and Cambodia?

Can China make other countries drop tariff and non tariff barriers to Chinese goods?

Over the long run, these countries may rely less on the US for trade but at least right now all these deals are positives for the US. And even with these bullying tactics, is there a lot of anti Americanism in those countries?

What about them? BRICS is not a trade bloc. Trade isn't a focus of SCO either. They naturally have different paces of development.

BRICS is like the G7. It is a talk shop.

Emergency measure at Nexperia after theft of British trade secrets​

The minister's tough intervention at chip producer Nexperia was the only option to prevent the European branch of the company from being dismantled, insiders say.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs (EZ) intervened in the case of chip manufacturer Nexperia because, in the eyes of Dutch officials, its Chinese owner, Wing, stole trade secrets from a British factory and was about to dismantle the company's European branch. Several insiders confirmed this to NRC .

Stole IP from his own fully owned company. West sure has a strange understanding on what ownership rights of a company mean

Wing wanted to move all wafer production to China and outsource it to another company he owned, WingSkySemi. To achieve this, he appropriated the chip production recipes from the Nexperia factory in Manchester, UK, which manufactures MOSFETs – simple switches. While this is common technology, it involves trade secrets that were improperly shared with the Chinese competitor – Wing's own company. Dutch officials concluded that the CEO was enriching himself by having Nexperia place excessively large orders with his own chip factory and siphoning off knowledge. To retain production in Europe, Karremans intervened.

Interviews conducted by NRC reveal that the Ministry of Economic Affairs made the controversial decision under considerable time pressure, as Wing threatened to lay off 40 percent of its European staff and wanted to close Nexperia's research center in Munich. The plans for this had already been shared with the works council.

To the outside world, it appears the Dutch government made the decision under pressure from the Americans. But Minister Karremans previously called it "pure coincidence" that tightened US trade restrictions were announced on the same day the minister issued the order.

Officials themselves "discovered" the previously unused 1952 law.

So how come the CEO of Nexperia was going to layoff the workers if Nexperia had just increased capacity in those very same European fabs? These people are just retarded in their excuses.

The CEO had plans to massively increase revenue with extra capacity and a huge chunk of it was to come from the Chinese fab WingSkySemi.
