Dutch court orders probe into chipmaker NexperiaAP, THE HAGUE, NetherlandsA Dutch court on Wednesday ordered a formal investigation into chipmaker Nexperia BV and upheld an earlier order suspending its Chinese chief executive officer Zhang Xuezheng (張學政), citing doubts about the company’s policies and conduct. Flags flutter in front of the headquarters of chipmaker Nexperia in Nijmegen, Netherlands, on Jan. 14. US officials had told the Dutch government Zhang should be replaced to avoid trade restrictions, a court filing last year showed. They urged the court not to order an investigation and said Wingtech had been blindsided by the Dutch government move. Nexperia in a statement posted online said that it “welcomes and respects” the ruling, and is “committed to fully complying” with the investigation.
