Both are members of the Committee on Foreign Investments in the U.S. Not many deals are blocked by this committee; a number of those that are blocked are sales to China. The concern here is use of the technology for military purposes. http://quote.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000006&sid=aHvaqeDP7R.A&refer=hom e --Prof. Steven M.
