Why does every second comment on this topic reference China? An (effectively) American company domiciled in Singapore has no relation whatsoever to China, but yet it's one of the salient points in half the posts I'm reading on this topic?
- Slansitartop 9y agoWell, I only referenced it because it was a handy example of a case where "foreign governments [already] intervene to block American companies acquiring their native companies" to respond to the grandparent comment. As for your question, my understanding is a Broadcom acquisition of Qualcomm would change the market such that Chinese competitors would be able to force themselves deeper into the American market. So it's more about the second-order effects of the deal rather than the first-order ones.
