The ministry said it acted after receiving \u201cserious signals\u201d about the conduct of Nexperia\u2019s director but declined to specify details.<\/p>\n<p>Nexperia, headquartered in Nijmegen, produces simple but essential chips used in cars and household electronics.

The judge ruled that the actions were not in Nexperia\u2019s best interest.<\/p>\n<p>The crisis has deepened as Nexperia faces looming US trade restrictions scheduled to take effect at the end of November unless an exemption is granted.<\/p>\n<p>The Netherlands has been working in recent months to reduce the firm\u2019s exposure to Chinese control to shield it from the effects of the measures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Lesotho<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
