The German government withdraws its approval for a Chinese takeover of Aixtron

Seeking Alpha Reports : The German government withdraws its approval [Bloomberg] for a Chinese takeover of chip equipment maker Aixtron (NASDAQ:AIXG), raising an unexpected hurdle for a €670M ($728M) deal on the home stretch. Germany's economics ministry says it is reopening its review of Grand Chip Investment’s takeover after clearing the €6/share deal just last month. The planned purchase of AIXG is part of a wave of Chinese acquisitions of German tech companies, and the holdup appears to signal a growing backlash against such activity within the Merkel government.
