I see two challenges. One is the political climate and current administration, which has been negative toward Chinese ownership of any tech- or intellectual property-related deals; it started even when Obama was president, as the government canceled its longstanding contract with Waldorf Astoria New York after Anbang’s acquisition of it, out of fear of eavesdropping. I can only imagine what the critics will say about potential risks in access to data. Second is consolidation within the tech sector has ramped up. With so many mergers and acquisitions, it’s likely there will be a surplus in facilities as companies combine their resources.
