清华紫光收购美芯片厂商障碍重重

HONG KONG — It is either the first step in thelargest takeover of an American company by aChinese one or a new chapter in the emergingtechnological cold war between the two countries.

香港——这要么是中国企业收购美国企业金额最大的一宗行动中的第一步，要么是美中两国日益加剧的技术冷战中的新的一章。

Tsinghua Unigroup, a state-owned company that isChina's top chip maker, is preparing a $23 billion bid for Micron Technology, the United Statesmaker of memory chips, according to a person briefed on the matter. The bid would dwarf theprice of the closest such deal, the $4.7 billion paid by Shuanghui International Holdings of Chinato take over the American pork producer Smithfield Foods in 2013.

知情人士透露，清华紫光集团准备以230亿美元(约合1400亿元人民币)的出价收购美光科技(MicronTechnology)。国有的紫光集团是中国顶尖的芯片生产商，美光则是制造存储芯片的美国企业。此次收购要约的金额远远超出了最为接近的类似并购案，即中国企业双汇国际控股有限公司在2013年以47亿美元收购美国猪肉生产商史密斯菲尔德(Smithfield)的金额。

Yet obstacles abound to any takeover of Micron by Tsinghua Unigroup. In a report released onTuesday, Credit Suisse said the deal was "highly unlikely to get past U.S. regulators who areincreasingly viewing semiconductors as a strategic industry." Credit Suisse said a trade war wasbrewing between the United States and China over the production of chips, which serve as thebrains of the billions of computers, phones and other devices.
