  • The Capitol Forum
    Vol. 7 No. 15 January 17, 2019 Anta Sports/Amer Sports: Fitness App Could Pose U.S. Security Vulnerability, Trigger CFIUS Questions Deal Update Heat maps of the world created by the fitness tracking app Movescount reveal some odd anomalies. Where users have input their running data for maps around San Francisco, Dallas or Boston, massive clumps of orange appear, as might be expected. More surprising are the tangerine-colored lines that encircle locations in places like Afghanistan, Djibouti and Iraq. While anyone can sign up for the app, it’s a fair bet the high levels of activity recorded around the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad or the U.S. Navy’s Camp Lemmonier in Djibouti are generated by Americans—specifically, American military personnel. The same can be inferred from the orange lines running through the Army’s Fort Drum in New York and around Quantico, Virginia, home to a major Marine base. Soon, a Chinese company could be in control of the data behind the maps—and a great deal more related information. On December 7, Amer Sports (HEL: AMEAS), the Finnish sports-equipment manufacturer behind the Movescount app, announced an agreement to be acquired by China’s Anta Sports (HKG: 2020) and Hong Kong-based private equity firm FountainVest in a 4.6 billion euro ($5.27 billion) deal. Heat maps aside, a Chinese company gaining control of behind-the-scenes data on Americans raises significant national security concerns about the transaction that cyber-security experts said needs review by the federal government’s multi-agency Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S.
