A strong rumor emerged this week points to a possible sale of BlackBerry to the Chinese company Lenovo. In terms of business everything seems to be going well, it is possible that the sale is not closed due to an interference of the government of Canada.
According to information published in The Globe and Mail, the government can review the company’s debts, which exceeded U.S. $ 344 million. All this aims to prevent the control of local companies pass into the hands of foreign groups.
“The BlackBerry is the leading smartphone maker used by government and executive officers of the country. Therefore it should not be sold to a foreign group or someone who is not close to our network of friends, “said Michel Juneau-Katsuya, Chief of Security and Intelligence Service of Canada.
This would not be the first Canadian government protectionist measure against the actions of the Chinese. The company China National Offshore Oil Corporation was prevented from buying oil company Nexen, located in Calgary, ending a deal involving about $ 15 billion.
