I don't know enough details of this to tell you if the US government can slow it down or stop it. But in the long run, it doesn't matter. Foxconn is the company, more than any other in the world, which knows how to make computer equipment. Asian, mostly Chinese, business networks are becoming the only ones that know how to make modern computers at all. Western companies get hardware to market by having it made by those who know how to make it (i.e. Chinese partners). If the Chinese companies now want to sell things directly to consumers, there's nothing to stop them -- buying US companies might be the easiest path, but other paths exist. In no way does this mean that the Chinese are going to come and economically dominate everything. But it is hubris to imagine that holding onto companies will prevent change.
