Baby Trend Inc
This Fontana, California-based baby equipment manufacturer sells car seats, highchairs, and diaper pails. It continued to thrive after being acquired by a Chinese corporation called Alpha Group. According to a representative for Alpha Group, vice president Wang Jing remarked that the company was “excited” to create unique educational and entertaining items for infants and parents. “By acquiring Baby Trend, we will be able to use our existing experience in the baby and infant industry while expanding our distinctive technologies and intellectual property portfolio.”
University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center
Many people were perplexed in 2012 when a Beijing-based firm called Concord Medical services acquired a fifth of the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center Proton Therapy Center. Even while the university’s ownership stakes were unaffected, the deal elevated the Chinese company’s profile. “Proton treatment has become a widely accepted form of radiation therapy,” Dr. Jianyu Yang noted. He serves as Concord Medical’s medical chairman and chief executive officer. Concord Medical wants to open and manage two proton centers in China. “This agreement enables us to learn from the world’s leading provider of proton therapy cancer care and to acquire critical knowledge and understanding of proton therapy center operations.”
