The China Factor: Bain-3Com Deal Withdrawn

Posted on Wednesday, Feb 20th

The deal has been withdrawn due to objections from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). 3Com’s Tipping Point business unit supplies sensitive monitoring equipment to the US Government’s Defense Department.
