Former Nexperia CEO Claims Company Planned to Transfer Technology to China

Allegations of a Long‑standing Scheme

The ex‑chief executive of Nexperia, the Dutch semiconductor manufacturer, has alleged that Dutch authorities were aware for years that the firm’s Chinese parent was intent on shifting critical technology to China.

What the Former CEO Said

According to the former CEO, the Chinese owner of Nexperia had a clear objective: to relocate proprietary chip designs and manufacturing know‑how from the Netherlands to facilities in China. He asserted that this plan was not a recent development but had been understood by government officials for an extended period.

Implications for Dutch Oversight

If true, these revelations raise serious questions about the effectiveness of Dutch export‑control policies and the ability of regulators to monitor foreign‑owned technology companies operating on Dutch soil.

Next Steps

Authorities have not yet commented publicly on the former CEO’s statements. The situation is expected to prompt further investigations into the company’s compliance with national security and trade regulations.
