I imagine it would be a matching engine that projects can apply to their own specific needs. Or are the brains of DoorDash and Uber already open source, like how most of the WWW runs on FOSS?

A Chinese technology company took trade secrets from Britain as part of plans to move microchip production out of the country, it has been claimed.

Wingtech transferred production techniques from a semiconductor plant in Stockport, Greater Manchester, owned by Dutch subsidiary Nexperia, according to reports in the Dutch media.

The Dutch government last month seized control of Nexperia from Wingtech using Cold War national security laws and relieved its chief executive, Xuezheng Zhang, of his duties.

China has, in return, blocked Nexperia’s Chinese operations from exporting chips, leading to a stand-off that has threatened to hit car production.

Wingtech appropriated techniques for manufacturing power chips known as Mosfets that are made in Nexperia’s Stockport facility, Dutch officials told the NRC newspaper.

Although the chips, which Nexperia sells to the car industry, are not at the cutting edge, the company’s Manchester plant has carefully refined manufacturing techniques to maximise efficiency.

China waged a campaign of harassment and intimidation directed at a UK university to get it to shut down sensitive research into alleged human rights abuses, documents seen by the BBC show.

Sheffield Hallam University staff in China were threatened by individuals described by them as being from China's National Security Service who demanded the research being done in Sheffield be halted.

And access to the university's websites from China was blocked, impeding its ability to recruit Chinese students, in a campaign of threats and intimidation lasting more than two years.

In an internal email from July 2024, university officials said "attempting to retain the business in China and publication of the research are now untenable bedfellows".

When the UK government learned of the case, the then Foreign Secretary David Lammy issued a warning to his Chinese counterpart that it would not tolerate attempts to suppress academic freedoms at UK universities, the BBC understands.

The issue was also raised with China's most senior education minister.

China was seeking to halt research by Laura Murphy, professor of human rights and contemporary slavery at Sheffield Hallam, into allegations Uyghur Muslims in the north-western region of Xinjiang were subject to forced labour.

...

In late 2024, following pressure from the Chinese state and a separate defamation law suit against the university, Sheffield Hallam decided not to publish a final piece of research by Prof Murphy and her team into forced labour.

And in early 2025, university administrators told her that she could "not continue with her research into supply chains and forced labour in China".

She initiated legal action against the university for failing in its duty to protect her academic freedom and she submitted a "subject access request" demanding Sheffield Hallam hand over any relevant internal documents.

Chinese companies are the largest shareholders in two Australian mines producing minerals vital for Beijing's hypersonic missiles and nuclear programs, helping it overcome "severe challenges" to accessing key resources.

In a rare admission of its vulnerability, China says it depends on imports for its supply of zirconium, a little-known critical mineral. Australia is the world's largest producer and supplies China with 41 per cent of its imports.

Not only did Australian regulators allow Beijing-backed companies to become major shareholders in the two Western Australia mines, the federal government even gave one of them a $160 million soft loan to help it into production.

Australia is supplying these raw materials vital for China's military build-up, while at the same time signing up to be a partner of choice for the United States as it seeks to break Beijing's stranglehold over the processing of rare earths and critical minerals.

A China-affiliated threat actor known as UNC6384 has been linked to a fresh set of attacks exploiting an unpatched Windows shortcut vulnerability to target European diplomatic and government entities between September and October 2025.

The activity targeted diplomatic organizations in Hungary, Belgium, Italy, and the Netherlands, as well as government agencies in Serbia, Arctic Wolf said in a technical report published Thursday.

"The attack chain begins with spear-phishing emails containing an embedded URL that is the first of several stages that lead to the delivery of malicious LNK files themed around European Commission meetings, NATO-related workshops, and multilateral diplomatic coordination events," the cybersecurity company said.

In 2021, Google and Amazon signed a $1.2 billion contract with the Israeli government, known as Project Nimbus, to provide it with advanced cloud computing and AI services — tools that were used during Israel’s two-year onslaught on the Gaza Strip. To secure the lucrative deal, Yuval Abraham revealed in a joint investigation with Local Call and the Guardian, the tech giants agreed to disregard their own terms of service and sidestep legal orders by tipping Israel off if a foreign court demands its data.

Donald Trump said on Sunday that, for now, he is not considering a deal that would allow Ukraine to obtain long-range Tomahawk missiles for use against Russia.

Trump has been cool to a plan for the United States to sell Tomahawks to NATO nations that would transfer them to Ukraine, saying he does not want to escalate the war.

His latest comments to reporters aboard Air Force One indicate that he remains reluctant.
