    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.
