Regarding the Nexperia saga, which pretty much kills any inward investment to the Netherlands, it is now starting to appear that the company is being prepared for a forced sale to one of the 'chosen'. Just as a reminder, Wingtech bought the company back in 2017 when it was struggling financially and they turned the company round (it made over $300 million profit last year). So now it is valuable company and, as such, Vishay, a US company,, started by one of the 'chosen' (and with a large plant in israel) wants it as its very low tech products fits into Vishay's product mix. Vishay did the same thing with the Nexperia owned Newport Fab in South Wales (UK), which was the subject of a forced sale to Vishay by Boris Johnson.

The Chinese government has, in turn, blocked the export of Nexperia devices from China. The wafers are made in Hamburg but sent to China for packaging, which means that the 'reason' for the theft of the company - the continuation of supplies to car companies - has, for the time being, suffered from the opposite effect.

The newly installed management (at least one of whom is a member of the 'chosen' tribe) has applied to the Chinese government to lift the ban - we'll see how that goes, given that they have a large share in Wingtech it may not happen. Not only that but the company's R&D are located in China (as is their sales office),

The dispute was triggered by the fact that Nexperia ordered $200 million worth of wafers from China and the 'chosen' director said it was too much and should have only been $100 million - not for financial reasons btw, they could well afford it -, but the real reason is that Wingtech was sanctioned by the US because of its ties to the Chinese government and the interim Dutch government have no guts to stand up for their own country's well-being in the face of US aggression.

I can't see a happy ending.

PUTIN-TRUMP SUMMIT IN BUDAPEST: HEADING TOWARDS DETENTE OR A SHOWDOWN?

There is a big question of how we have got to the point where Putin and Trump have committed themselves to another summit in Budapest.

By Alexander Mercouris.

The first thing to say is that there is none of the excitement - or concern - we saw ahead of the summit in Alaska. The European media, which was in a frenzy before the Alaska summit, is playing this summit down.

The second is that the Russians seem to be much more skeptical. Not only have Putin and Lavrov been challenged by the Russian media in recent press conferences and interviews, but it seems to me that Ushakov in his briefing seemed more doubtful than before. He spoke of the call between Putin and Trump as merely being ‘quite useful’, and made no comment about warmth or ‘sincerity’ between the leaders.

It is clear that there is a tension we have not seen before.

This has caused me to read through all the various comments made since Alaska by Putin and Lavrov, going back all the way to the press conference that Putin and Trump held after...

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
