Mobile Payment and China-USA Trade War
Chinese billionaire Jack Ma’s latest U.S. expansion plan faced rising political obstacles
the House of Representatives urged the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S.
to conduct a "full and thorough" investigation of Ant Financial’s proposed acquisition
of MoneyGram International Inc., a money-transfer service

claimed to provide Chinese access to the U.S. financial infrastructure
and to pose significant national security risks if completed

a financial-services affiliate of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and controlled by Ma
Ant made its bid in January 2017 for $880 million, or $13.25 a share
Leawood, Kansas-based rival Euronet Worldwide Inc. came in at $15.20
Dallas-based MoneyGram entered a confidentiality agreement with Euronet
to further consider its unsolicited proposal

Chinese companies have been on an acquisition spree in the U.S. for many years

German semiconductor maker Aixtron SE’s planned sale to a Chinese-based company

that the sale should be stopped
Aixtron has a subsidiary in California and it generates about 20 percent of sales in the U.S

The White House can stop the deal, and Mnuchin is the chairman of the panel

The new administration expected to block "a wide range" of deals as part of Trump’s America First agenda.

Euronet wrote to Mnuchin arguing Ant’s offer raises national security concerns
because money transmitters collect confidential data on users
which the government requires them to retain for several years.

Money transmitters also get confidential requests from the U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network
about transactions that may be connected to terrorism or money laundering.

Ant Financial is partly owned by Chinese state institutions.
This claimed to give a foreign government access to critical infrastructure and
could be used for "intelligence purposes, location tracking, and identifying vulnerabilities for coercion".

investors are passive and the entities don’t participate in Ant’s management or board

~ UAS markets in China

UAS markets in China
A state-owned Chinese defense company will be the largest unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) manufacturer over the next decade,
according to a new industry forecast.

Forecast International, a private market researcher, published a forecast of the global UAV market over the next decade.
The report predicts that the global drone market will more than double in the next ten years,
rising from $942 million in 2014 to an annual $2.3 billion in 2023.

The expansion in the global drone market will be driven by increased costs rather than larger production.
Forecast International expects annual drone production to taper off by 2017,
dropping from 1,000 systems 2014 to roughly 960 systems each year starting in 2017 and continuing through the rest of the decade.

Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), a state-owned Chinese defense company, will lead the world in UAV production!
AVIC will produce about $5.76 billion worth of UAVs through 2023.
This is more than half of the UAVs by value
that will be produced during this time period.
Nearly all these will be sold to Chinese consumers.

AVIC and its subsidiaries already produce a number of UAVs for the Chinese market.
AVIC manufacturers a wide range of UAVs, including its electrically powered micro air vehicle (MAV),
the jet-powered LIEOE, which appears almost identical to the Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk,
for reconnaissance, surveillance, and attack missions,
the AVIC Sky Eye, an electrically unmanned helicopter
designed to be deployed by artillery or rocket round, for reconnaissance and targeting, and
the TL-8 Sky Dragon for simulating cruise missiles for Chinese military.

China has also indicated how it might deploy its growing drone fleet on a couple of occasions.
In 2013 Beijing had considered conducting a drone strike somewhere in the Golden Triangle
to eliminate a Myanmar drug dealer who was wanted in China. It later decided to capture him alive.

Japanese authorities announced they had scrambled aircraft in response to a then-unidentified UAV flying in the vicinity of the islands.
China later confirmed that the UAV belonged to it and said it had been on a routine mission.
The government in Tokyo was studying plans to shoot down foreign UAVs that entered into its airspace.
China later said it would consider such a move as an act of war.

Northrop Grumman — which produces the RQ-4B Global Hawk and the U.S. Navy’s MQ-4C Triton —
will manufacture $2.58 billion worth of UAVs through 2023.

Some 41,800 land- and sea-based unmanned systems worth about $10.5 billion are forecast for production during the 2014-2023.
