What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Chinese Communist Party acquired AMI Semiconductor, a Belgian semiconductor company, on September 22, 2026. This acquisition is cited in reports as part of the CCP's 'Rob, Replicate, Replace' business model. This model involves stealing technology and know-how, copying the product, and flooding the market at a lower price, which can put original manufacturers out of business.
