The negotiations between Toshiba and the US Western Digital (90.07, -0.49, -0.54%) (WD) have ushered in the final situation, but the issue of voting rights for Western Digital has not been discussed in the future because the Chinese anti-monopoly law authorities are expected to A strict review of this point. If the Chinese authorities' guidelines are forcibly sold, not only will the review time be prolonged, but the worst case may also be subject to the risk of being banned from sale. China is the main market for storage, so the two companies will look for ways to minimize the impact on the business. When Toshiba sold the original Toshiba Medical Systems to Canon (34.94, 0.14, 0.40%) in 2016, the Japanese Fair Trade Commission's review time was about three months, while the Chinese review took nine months. Panasonic took longer to acquire the original Sanyo Electric. According to lawyers familiar with international law, "China will require all materials to be submitted for the purpose of protecting and cultivating domestic industries. The review time is usually at least 6 months, and important projects will appear in the review stage after about 2 and a half months." . For China, semiconductors are strategic industries, so the review is very strict. There are also points of view that industrial policies may be considered when judging competition policy. Lawyer Tada Minami believes: "It is also possible to request Toshiba Memory and Western Digital Alliance to provide technical licenses to other companies in the name of activating competition, and to transfer part of the business." When the Toshiba Medical System was sold in 2016, Canon paid the purchase price before filing the acquisition plan. The Chinese government believes that this practice has problems and ordered Canon to pay a fine. Regarding this approach, the Japan Fair Trade Commission also believes that there is a problem and will not approve it in the future. Maersk Group, the world's largest container shipping company, plans to cooperate with two companies in the same industry in 2014, but it was banned by the Chinese government and forced to cancel the cooperation plan.
