\u201cIt\u2019s clear that we have been somewhat naive in past years\u201d, Dijkgraaf said in a debate in the House of Representatives on knowledge security. The debate<\/a> followed new revelations<\/a> about Dutch knowledge and expertise that is benefitting the Chinese armed forces.<\/p>\n

The minister believes that the institutions share \u2018the growing sense of urgency\u2019. But he also had to conclude \u2018that we\u2019re simply not there yet\u2019. At the behest of Parliament, he will be tightening the reigns further.<\/p>\n\n\t
