I found this pcmag link more enlightening than the NYT article. https://www.pcmag.com/news/359702/us-broadcom-qualcomm-merger-may-pose-national-security-risk https://www.pcmag.com/news/359702/us-broadcom-qualcomm-merge... Specifically, the last paragraph, "Broadcomm added that most of its board of directors and senior management team is made up of Americans. It also contends that the company's plan to buy Qualcomm will no longer fall under CFIUS's review when Broadcom finishes relocating to the US." It seems CFIUS wants solid assurance that this happens so the US can continue scooping up all the communications of everyone world wide. The US government didn't appoint Qualcomm winner of the LTE market with IP protections just to let them sell it off to a company outside US control.
