Netherlands to probe Chinese chips takeover

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 13:08:06 GMT

The Dutch government has decided to review a Chinese-owned firm’s takeover of a Delft-based microchips startup.Nowi, which develops chips that harvest energy, was acquired in November last year by Nexperia, a firm headquartered in the Netherlands but owned by Chinese tech firm Wingtech. That acquisition will now be reviewed under a new investment-screening law that entered into force Thursday, Harald Hanemaaijer, spokesperson at the Dutch economy ministry, confirmed to POLITICO. The news was first reported by Dutch media. The law gives the Dutch government new powers to scrutinize investments or full takeovers when critical infrastructure or sensitive technology is in play. “Certain states want to exercise power by influence over companies, technologies and critical infrastructure. This can affect the national security of the Netherlands,” Micky Adriaansens, the Dutch economy minister, said at the final parliamentary debate on the bill in mid-April. An initial revi...

Debt limit bill gives Republicans IRS cuts, but Democrats say they expect little near-term impact

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 13:08:06 GMT

By FATIMA HUSSEIN and KEVIN FREKING (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans are seeking to make good on their campaign promise to rein in the IRS with cutbacks built into the debt ceiling and budget cuts package moving through Congress.The bill rescinds $1.4 billion given to the federal tax collector in the Democrats’ health and energy package that was approved last year on party line votes. The White House says the debt deal also includes a separate agreement to take $20 billion from the IRS over the next two years and divert those funds to other nondefense programs.Democrats expended a lot of political capital to get the IRS more money last year. They faced an onslaught of campaign ads, many of them misleading, about the expected hiring of 87,000 “new agents” to target low- and middle-class Americans.Now, Biden administration officials are offering assurances that the spending cuts secured by Republican negotiators will have minimal impact on the agency’s operations ...

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 13:08:06 GMT

Growing up in New Jersey, summertime for Al Leiter was, as he puts it, “WOR, Bob Murphy, Lindsay Nelson and Ralph Kiner.” Leiter has vague memories of 1969, when he was nearly four years old and the Mets made a magical run to an improbable World Series title:“Black-and-white TV, upstairs at a house in Pine Beach, my older brothers and my dad, all excited when they won.”Tom Seaver, of course, “walked on water, as far as the Leiter family was concerned,” he adds. In 1973, when the Mets made their next trip to the World Series, Leiter was seven and “in the sweet spot of being a young boy, loving baseball,” he says.No wonder Leiter, now 57, describes himself as a Mets fan “at birth.” Lucky for him, he eventually got a chance to pitch for the team he swooned over as a kid and he was so good at it he’s headed to the Mets Hall of Fame. Leiter will be honored Saturday at Citi Field along with Howard Johnson and broadcasters G...
