So nerf him but he needs no NerfMaybe you should reword your reply because that ' s what I see <| sep |> Sure you haven ' t heard it ? Even in history class about Germany in the 30 s and 40 s ? <| sep |> My LGS has already put the price up to 3 . 70 so i thought the adjustment had already happened . I guess not <| sep |> When Gabriel ' s office announced in the fall that it would withdraw its previous approval of the acquisition of German firm Aixtron SE by China ' s Grand Chip Investment , it was widely seen as a way of telling Beijing that Berlin is monitoring what ' s happening closely . The CIA told them not too , Aixtron technology at the higher end has military uses We still have an armsmilitary embargo on China . We are beginning to see the shift in power , Europe will have to take a side on this eventually . The US is competing economically and strategically with China , this competition will get fiercer . Will it allow Europe to continue providing very hightech stuff to China ? They have already suggested that the merger be dropped . If its restarted I can see the US subsidiaries being taken out the deal , probably with a few others . In any case , we cant buy their companies in the same manner . Reciprocity should be really pushed . Also , they are shady ways they are buying these companies . The article doesnt mention it , but Aixtron was bought because at the last minute a major order was cancelled by a Chinese customer . Aixtron shareprice sank . Fujian then agreed to buy them . The Chinese company San ' an that cancelled the order and the one that agreed to buy them Fujian , have common investors , share existing financial relationships . Both linked to the state . I dont see anything changing though , we ' ll try to stay in the middle while making as much money with the Chinese as we can while selling them whatever we can , including high end technology .
