CHINA PRESS: U.S. President Donald Trump has rejected a U.S. chipmaker's deal

with a China government-backed company because of national security concerns,

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. Lattice, a chip company whose

products are used by the American government, was in discussions with Canyon

Bridge as part of China's repeated attempts to invest in the semiconductor

industry. The deal's failure signals continuing conflicts in the U.S.-China

battle over chip technology and foreign direct investment, the newspaper said.

The Wall Street Journal quoted the Global Times, a China government mouthpiece,

saying a rejection of the deal by Trump "may further intensify the tensions

surrounding Sino-U.S. trade relations" and China may take retaliatory measures

against U.S. businesses in China. (The Wall Street Journal)
