From my understanding, finding loopholes against restrictions is a habit they justify due to their claimed lineage from prophet Israel (Jacob) who defeated god in a wrestling match (according to the Torah). The logic is: if Jacob can defeat god, and if we are children of Jacob, then we can also defeat god.

Some notable examples:
• drawing a wire (eruv) around Manhattan to bypass Sabbath restrictions outside your house (eruv is supposed to be the fence around your house).
• forbidden to kill a specific criminal, so they tied him to a tree until he died of starvation.
• forbidden to carry keys on Sabbath, but if you wear a belt, you can hang the keys on the belt.
Lol

I don't wanna talk religion indepth but loopholes have a strong association with this religion.


I'm pretty sure he's just secularizing the state (not the first time in the region) so there won't be any major opponents left for his government, and more importantly, for Israel. Muslim religious fervor is the greatest threat to Israel. That's why you never see any uprisings or anti-Israel groups in Saudi Arabia which is otherwise a very conservative society (fervor is nipped in the bud by the state).

‘Despite the suspension, Nexperia still has the obligation to provide information to the government about transfers of production resources or intellectual property, the economic affairs ministry said.’

‘While the immediate supply squeeze is set to relax, longer term issues remain.

After auto companies were forced to scramble for alternatives, Nexperia’s future role in the sector could be in doubt. Also, concerns about China’s ownership of the company goes back longer, with managers at the chipmaker approaching the Dutch government already in late 2023.

The role of Wingtech’s founder Zhang Xuezheng is also uncertain. He was suspended as Nexperia’s chief executive officer by an Amsterdam court on Oct seven following a petition by the chipmaker’s management. His reinstatement was a demand by Wingtech to resolve the dispute, which also triggered a feud between Nexperia’s headquarters and its Chinese operations over financing and control.

The Netherlands felt comfortable with handing back control because the court ruling suspending Zhang still stands, said a person familiar with the discussions. While the order served its purpose, it could be reinstated if supplies are once against at risk, the person said.’


In others, Chinese ownership is still awaiting the reversal do the court order. Anyone here an expert on the settlement process of the Dutch law?

Nexperia is always Chinese owned, Dutch law does not apply to ownership and their claim over it never had validity, period. The only valid way to deal with Dutch theft is what China has been doing so far: if the Dutch breaks Chinese law, they get punished.

European cultural desire to steal will never change, they're only reacting to pain right now, but their thinking is invariably to buy time until they can try stealing it again, so this also means China's goal will be to use the same time to eliminate any liability from this eventuallity.

My guess is China will keep export control in place to keep supplies on a tight leash and prevent stockpiling, customer facing activity will continue to be handled in China, and all future investments will take place exclusively in China with WingSkySemi taking over all wafer production from Hamburg, so that Wingtech will be able to straight up close European offices one day without anything more the Dutch can do.

Also Wingtech specifically said the Dutch owes them $100M, that need to be addressed.

China banned chip export specifically to prevent anyone else from getting similar ideas, so any outcome that sees Netherlands end up with anything more than what they started with goes against this purpose. The only question is how far will China go to punish the Dutch for it.

Hard to think the country that birthed Toyota and Sony is now on par with Spain and Thailand in terms of reliance on tourism for GDP.

Not as surprising perhaps is that despite this reality, they're willing to scuttle it for the sake of pride. What would be surprising indeed is if the Japanese actually swallowed their pride, that's how you know something's funny in their water.

Just a thought : Since Japan courtesy of Grinch-faced Takaichi made these red-line crossing statements and because of "pride" can't/won't back down/apologize or retract these statements-could the 5ft tall/140 lb inbred "Son of Heaven",Naruhito intervene to "bear the unbearable " again ,knowing Japan might be on the edge of a precipice ??

It would unironically be more peaceful coz theres a clear separation everyone can see. But India's losing out so it won't accept that. Of coz when it harbours Tibet separatists, it's trying to take a bite out of Tibet claiming it's for peace but India has no issue with that even imo thats technically grounds for war.
