Corona virus has spread around the globe infecting millions of people, and shutting down non-essential businesses. This has led huge number of companies close to bankruptcy. And now China is trying to buy such companies outside of China, specially in India, US, and Europe at a very low price. A few weeks ago,  China reform holdings tried to take control over British graphic chip maker called Imagination technologies .
