The UK government says Nexperia's takeover of Newport Wafer Fab creates national security risks.
The takeover of Britain's largest microchip plant by a Chinese-owned company must be reversed, the UK government has said.
The deal came under scrutiny amid an ongoing global shortage of computer chips which has been exacerbated by the pandemic.Concerns were raised that the home-grown technology, considered to be of strategic importance, would become more accessible to China under Nexperia. The second, the plant's location as part of a semiconductor cluster on the Duffryn industrial estate, could "facilitate access to technological expertise and know-how".

Outdoor light at night in relation to glucose homoeostasis and diabetes in Chinese adults: a national and cross-sectional study of 98,658 participants from 162 study sites - DiabetologiaAims/hypothesis Exposure to artificial light at night (LAN) disrupts the circadian timing system and might be a risk factor for diabetes. Our aim was to estimate the associations of chronic exposure to outdoor LAN with glucose homoeostasis markers and diabetes prevalence based on a national and cross-sectional survey of the general population in China. Methods The China Noncommunicable Disease Surveillance Study was a nationally representative study of 98,658 participants aged ≥18 years who had been living in their current residence for at least 6 months recruited from 162 study sites across mainland China in 2010. Diabetes was defined according to ADA criteria. Outdoor LAN exposure in 2010 was estimated from satellite data and the participants attending each study site were assigned the same mean radiance of the outdoor LAN at the study site. The linear regression incorporating a restricted cubic spline function was used to explore the relationships between LAN exposure and markers of glucose homoeostasis. Cox regression with a constant for the time variable assigned to all individuals and with robust variance estimates was used to assess the associations between the levels of outdoor LAN exposure and the presence of diabetes by calculating the prevalence ratios (PRs) with adjustment for age, sex, education, smoking status, drinking status, physical activity, family history of diabetes, household income, urban/rural areas, taking antihypertensive medications, taking lipid-lowering medications, and BMI. Results The mean age of the study population was 42.7 years and 53,515 (weighted proportion 49.2%) participants were women. Outdoor LAN exposure levels were positively associated with HbA1c, fasting and 2 h glucose concentrations and HOMA-IR and negatively associated with HOMA-B. Diabetes prevalence was significantly associated with per-quintile LAN exposure (PR 1.07 [95% CI 1.02, 1.12]). The highest quintile of LAN exposure (median 69.1 nW cm−2 sr−1) was significant
