Chinese television giant LeEco will buy Vizio, an American television set vendor that controls about a fifth of the U.S. market. A cynic might imagine Communist China’s government will install technology to censor or monitor what Americans watch. A Chinese firm is striking again at American industry, some might also fear. But early word is that LeEco, sometimes described as the Netflix of China, will use the $2 billion deal announced Tuesday to leapfrog into the American television market and beyond for purely commercial reasons.
