摘要
It would have been the biggest technology deal in corporate history. In 2017, then-Singaporean semiconductor firm Broadcom offered $103 billion to buy San Diego-based chip maker Qualcomm.
The takeover became hostile and Qualcomm appealed to the government to review the deal. In an unusual move, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US (CFIUS) took them up on that offer and then Trump blocked the deal on rather unusual national security grounds.
This failed hostile takeover soon faded into the background as the Trump administration moved on to other news-making things. But even at the time, I thought the whole kerfuffle was super interesting and worth a video. So thus it is.
