There is something I don't understand. What does China have to do with US company acquiring another US company? Who cares what they think.

If I'm not mistaken, Xilinx is a Chinese company and thus, subject to Chinese regulators?

Xilinx was founded in Silicon Valley in 1984 and headquartered in San Jose, it is a US company.

However it does have two main offices in China and does a lot of business in China. China as they do with all businesses operating in country gets to determine if the merger would effect them in some negative or illegal manner. As AMD and China have a working history (THATIC), I doubt they will step in the way of the merger.
