In Washington, a White House official rejected the Chinese line as "complete spin and propaganda" and said the standoff did not raise hopes for a positive meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G20 next week. After months of bickering over trade, the disputed South China Sea and U.S. support for Chinese-claimed Taiwan, Xi and Trump took a step back from the edge with an ice-breaking telephone call early this month.

The Fox deal is a core component of Disney’s strategic shift toward direct-to-consumer streaming services to compete directly with Netflix Inc. and pipe its programming directly into the home.

Disney-Fox deal receives approval from China, without conditions
The Walt Disney Co. confirmed Monday that regulators in China had given unconditional approval to its $71.3 billion acquisition of several of Fox's largest assets. Earlier this month, the European Commission also cleared the Disney-Fox deal, though that approval required Disney to divest its interest in its factual channels in the European Economic Area. Under the acquisition deal, Disney will be acquiring the Twentieth Century Fox TV and film studios, cable networks including FX and National Geographic Channel, Star India and majority control of streaming service Hulu. Shares of Disney have increased 7.8% in the year to date, while shares of Fox have gained 43%. The S&P 500 has gained 0.7% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has gained 2.8%.

Disney Receives Chinese Approval for Purchase of Fox Assets
The ruling removes one of the last major hurdles for the deal, which unites the entertainment assets of Rupert Murdoch’s empire with Disney. The Burbank, California-based entertainment giant has already obtained approval from regulators in the U.S. and the European Union, though both required divestitures that the company has agreed to make. There had been some concern in the investment community that China’s approval of the deal might not come easily, given the ongoing disputes over trade and tariffs between the country and the Trump administration.
