-------------------
What isn't clear from this PR is whether 5G business and Broadband products are operated within the business units partnering with China.
The last time we heard a PR from TCL slightly related to us was the purchasing of the MIFI brand business. Prior to that was an announcement TCL extended its 5G R&D agreement with Sequans.
Now, these announcements both arrive following; China's Golden week celebrating their Revolution 10/10 and also aligning with their National fascination with double number days; and following Central Plenum Planning session Two for the year- the Autumn session. Thus budgets and projects are set by the State and doled out to State firms.
This news is one that could ultimately assist with additional M&A activity at TCL.
