As everyone here is saying the merger would create too much concentration and not enough competition, but that's not the justification that the White House put forward. They said national security which seems far-fetched.

If the merger had gone through, and national security was a concern, I'd imagine someone could make good, reliable money by manufacturing chips in the US for the government at a small scale.

National security here is an excuse to stick it to China.
