Japan companies say mergers held up by regulators in mainland China

Firms in Japan, which is embroiled in a territorial row with Beijing, have launched a string of mergers and acquisitions including blockbuster deals such as Softbank's US$20 billion takeover of U.S.-based Sprint Nextel.

But some are blaming delays in completing the deals due to holdups by China's antitrust regulators, with home builder Daiwa House Industry saying it is delaying a planned 50-billion-yen (US$595 million) purchase of contractor Fujita.
