Flyer, government inserting itself into industry is standard around the world in all capitalist countries when the company is as big as Qualcomm.
We sometimes will make an exception for Canada and UK because of 200 years of good relations and reciprocity for our companies, but there are just no examples of a huge and profitable US co getting taken over by an Asian company, especially one with strong China ties. Obama would have blocked it, the French would block it for any of their many giant companies, etc.
Broadcom management screwed up, they should have fully moved HQ to California first.
