Basic gist of the story: a Chinese venture capital firm agrees to buy Philips Lumiled division. I thought this was interesting since Luxeons are good, the Philips lightbulb is around 100-110 L/w.

The story is written more about how strange it is for the US government to block the sale of essentially a Dutch business to a Chinese buyer. (Raises some privacy issues LEDs apparently pose.).
