EU carmakers ‘days away’ from halting work as chip war with China escalates

Shouldn't the government have prevented the sale of the company to a foreign entity in the first place if brain drain is a concern. Also Nexperia was working with a Chinese counterpart to manufacture the chips even before the sale, so it's not like they can operate independently. Countries should invest into local education, R & D and Entrepreneurship so that people can start companies to build things fully locally without needing to depend on other countries. Too much of the world is dependent on Chinese manufacturing as things currently stand, if the relationship turns hostile with China, it's gonna have bad impact on lots of jobs in the rest of the world.
