> Opposing one purchaser does not imply supporting another purchaser

Opposing the merger in this case necessarily meant embracing iRobot going out of business. Their financial position was clear, and no one else was in that business vertical but iRobot and Chinese companies. So either iRobot folds and the market is owned by Chiense companies, or iRobot folds and its IP is bought by Chinese companies.

> but I would guess the Chinese buyer does not have the same market power that Amazon does

In home robotics? They own the whole market.

> Warren is opposed to this purchase, too, but no longer has the influence to stop it.

Warren is too blindly ideological and frankly stupid to have pieced this together.
