"@loekalization @fbermingham ok so it's under an administrator i get it. So what you are saying is that is more a case of private company management misconduct than a case that has to do with US influence on chips etc. If so a court will have to judge it. Then why the government involvement"

"@loekalization @fbermingham like a golden share for national interests. The problem and this is the rookie mistake is that you need to involve the other counterpart first and find a solution.

"didn't know the back story. Maybe but just maybe the Chinese wanted to protect the assets because they saw this was coming due to pressures of US that would have prevented them to sell there.
