AMD uppges köpa kretsjätten Xilinx för 30 miljarder dollar

Har Kina mandat att stoppa ARMaffären?
Jag har svårt att se hur de skulle kunna stoppa att ett japanskägt företag säljs till ett företag i USA.

Om ARMvidia vill ha verksamhet i Kina så lär de vara tvungna att lyssna på vad kineserna säger. Om de inte sätter foten inom landet så kan de naturligtvis ignorera de orderna, men det tror jag inte är planen. EU har stoppat sammanslagningar av två amerikanska företag i 20 år nu (GE försökte köpa Honeywell, vilket EU blockerade 2001 efter att amerikanerna godkänt det), så det finns inget som hindrar kineserna från att göra samma sak.

Jiemian: The statement stated that the transaction will follow the "customary closing conditions" of M&A transactions, including submission to relevant agencies in the UK, China, the EU and the US for approval. Nvidia and ARM are not Chinese companies. Why do they need approval from Chinese regulators?

Ma: According to the Ministry of Commerce’s "Guiding Opinions on the Declaration of Concentration of Undertakings", as long as the aggregate annual turnover of undertakings in the world exceeds RMB 10 billion, and the turnover of at least two undertakings in China exceeds RMB 400 million in the previous year Renminbi, then it should be reported to the Ministry of Commerce of China for anti-monopoly review. Among them, 'acquisition' is a typical model of concentration of operators, while the global revenue and scale of business in China of NVIDIA and ARM far exceed the reporting standards and are automatically included in supervision. Therefore, it must pass the review of the Chinese anti-monopoly agency.

In addition, China’s “Anti-Monopoly Law” clearly stipulates that the “Anti-Monopoly Law” shall apply to cases where monopolistic activities outside the People’s Republic of China have an effect on the elimination or restriction of domestic market competition. Although this transaction between Nvidia and ARM is an overseas merger and acquisition, this transaction may have exclusion and restrictions on the Chinese domestic market. For example, this transaction may adversely affect competition in the domestic chip market.
