NeoPhotonics buys Photon Technology.
Lots of noise about how chinese companies are snapping up businesses in the US. But it doesn’t have to be one way street. San Jose-based NeoPhotonics says it has bought Chinese optical components supplier Photon Technology for an undisclosed sum. more

Om, isn’t there a difference though, between a private company doing the buying, and a (sometimes hostile) government doing the buying?
yes, that is true. the difference between capitalism and socialism i guess. anyway i think the big question is how long will the buying binge continue?
