Yeah, very true. It's probably best this sale went ahead then. If there is one thing you don't do, its mess with the Chinese especially in the business world. Yahoo! needs the cash anyway.
Yahoo needs many things, but cash isn't one of them. They have no debt and have billions in cash in the bank already that they don't know what to do with. The only reason they are doing this is to appease shareholders. And in that sense I suppose you could say that they need the cash, but short of doing a one-time dividend payout to shareholders I don't think they have any idea what they are going to do with it.
