Short story is that Zhang took over a Dutch Tech company, mismanaged it, and tried to take its Intellectual property/trade secrets to transfer it to a Chinese company, essentially gutting nexperia. The board of the company and the Dutch Chamber of Commerce intervened. Note that the Dutch government didn't do this for political reasons, but based on the findings of the Chamber of Commerce, who intervened because of intentional bad management.

This article makes it sound like Zhang was the victim here. Short story is that he took over a Dutch Tech company, mismanaged it and took its Intellectual property to transfer it to a Chinese company, essentially gutting nexperia. The board of the company and the Dutch Chamber of Commerce intervened. Note that the Dutch government didn't do this for political reasons, but based on the findings of the Chamber of Commerce, who intervened because of intentional bad management.

He looks like a modest, reasonable and intelligent man, I am sure he wants the best for the people of Argentina./s

I'm actually kind of surprised Oracle is apparently so profitable with a lot of good quality open source databases. I know they do more, but enterprise databases are what they are known for.

Bernd!

Didn't he turn out to be a right wing lunatic as well? Funny how his backstory was pretty much ignored by the media.

What ever happened to the guy that grazed Trumps ear?

With the motion now adopted, the Dutch government must formally respond and decide whether to implement the request.

And they won't.

Wilders is a right wing nut job whose popularity is decreasing rapidly. His party was now elected twice into the government and in both cases they blew up the coalition, causing new elections.

The sentiment regarding his party is now that they are unable to govern and just cause chaos. This is becoming clear even among his followers.

Before the elections they promise the impossible. When they are in the opposition it's easy to maintain that the ruling parties are messing stuff up, but now that they were actually part of the government they have shown twice now that they are unable to deliver any of their fantasy solutions and that they can't govern.

a proposed electronic version of the physical euro that has banks and right-leaning politicians fuming.

That should tell you enough about why we need it.

TL;DR the digital euro isn't stored in a bank, but in a digital ledger, making it impossible for banks to use it as they wish for investments, mortgages or trading.

Never again do banks need to be saved by governments from their own bad and risky investment decisions because they are "too big to fail".

Tipping in general is a concept that should just die. Same actually as bonuses. I work at a rather large company where sales closing a deal will get them a bonus. In my job I don't directly deal with customers, so I can never get a bonus. U don't work less hard than sales. I would actually say my job is more stressful. They should just pay people what they're worth.

Make no mistake, this is simply a warning from the government to the supreme court.

Imagine however if the court would use this case as a test, to see whether or not they still have any influence at all in the separation of powers.
