BEIJING (AP) — Japan's Sharp Corp. says China has become the final government to approve the acquisition of the Japanese electronics maker by the Taiwanese company that assembles Apple's iPhones and the tie-up will go ahead soon. Sharp says China's anti-monopoly agency approved the acquisition by Foxconn and "all examinations by the competition authorities of the relevant countries have been completed." It said a share issue to complete the transaction would take place "as soon as possible." Foxconn agreed in March to acquire Sharp for $3.5 billion, with plans to turn around the legendary but struggling Japanese brand. It was the first foreign takeover of a major Japanese electronics producer.
