Boris Johnson raises national security concerns over sale of Newport Wafer Fab
Boris Johnson has said the government will review the purchase of the UK’s largest producer of semiconductors by a Chinese-owned manufacturer, after it was criticised for apparently acquiescing to the takeover.
Johnson said on Wednesday that he had asked his national security adviser to review the purchase of Newport Wafer Fab by Nexperia, a Dutch firm wholly owned by China’s Wingtech.
