Analysts argued that Tsinghua Unigroup Ltd's proposed price, US$23 billion, was far too low. But China's critics on Capitol Hill worried about the impact on the Defense Department. And any deal would be likely to face a close look by the agency charged with vetting transactions that have potential national security concerns.
