Japan PM Takaichi calls for free and open Indo-Pacific at ASEAN summit
Japan's Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae has met with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. The two leaders agreed to strengthen cooperation across a wide range of fields, including security.
They met for about 20 minutes in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Sunday. It was Takaichi's first conversation with Marcos since she took office.
At the outset, Marcos congratulated Takaichi on becoming prime minister.
Takaichi said she was pleased to hold talks with Marcos soon after she assumed office. She also expressed hope to "further strengthen relations with the Philippines, as a strategic partner, toward realizing a free and open Indo-Pacific."
Stole IP from his own fully owned company. West sure has a strange understanding on what ownership rights of a company meanThe 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 .
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.
