The Chinese government will certainly understand the Dutch move as they eliminate all Western technology firms such as Nokia and Ericsson from its domestic networks. So what's the issue?

Also China require local representatives in subsidiaries management in China, possibly even Chinese leadership. The Dutch are only playing from the same rulebook.
China requires not only Chinese leadership, you can't even found a subsidiary in China that you would own. You always need a Chinese partner company that would then control the majority stake of the Joint Venture (btw, the only non-Chinese company that is exempted from this rule is Tesla).
For any other country, buying a company to gain the patents and knowledge of that company is completely normal and business as usual. But for some reason China isn't even allowed to buy knowledge, and when they do they are accused of stealing it!?!?
The Chinese perspective was actually more informative; I had more questions than answers after the first article.
