Earlier this month, a number of federal employees were surprised by a letter they received in the mail: a letter from their professional liability insurance provider informing them that it, Wright USA, had been acquired by a Chinese company.
Newsweek’s Jeff Stein has an informative article on this development, available here. A quick preview, according to Stein’s reporting:
