Guess they plan on selling to a Chinese company in the future...

That will be 100 % vetoed. Most nations have a veto right for selling of companies of strategic value, for example Germany has vetoed a lot of sales after the selling of Kuka hugely backfired.

Germany is world class in producing production facilities and Kuka has been one of the most successful companies. These robots you see assembling cars? There has been a time where they were almost all manufactured by Kuka – a german so called 'Mittelstand' company. From 2016 to 2021 Midea – a Chinese company bought Kuka and ultimately decided to make them privately owned again instead of publicly traded. Relatively shortly after this, all patents where transferred to China and a lot of European Companies decided to ditch Kuka due to their strategic dependency and fear of technology theft of China. Since then, the EU has decided to block a lot more sales of European companies of strategic importance to China – especially since its not an even playing field, due to European companies not being allowed to buy Chinese companies in the same way.

I am pretty sure some similar Veto will happen with AMD.
