The entire narrative of the article was about China. And zero of the HN commenters prior to my comment seemed to realize Broadcom isn't Chinese.

Yes, the article was about China. No, the article didn't try to pass Broadcom of as being Chinese, it did however, mention that Huawei was Chinese, for whatever that is worth. I hardly see how the article was factually incorrect in any way, or even deceptive.
> The proposed acquisition by the Singapore-based Broadcom would have been the largest deal in technology history, creating a major force in the development of the computer chips that power smartphones and many internet-connected devices.
I mean, if the company is a Singapore-based company, then how is the author not reminding us it isn't Chinese? Broadcom is only mentioned twice in the article, so a 50% reminder rate isn't that bad.
