DOVER, Del. (AP) — Chinese auto parts conglomerate Wanxiang Group Corp. said Tuesday that a federal panel has approved its purchase of most assets of failed battery maker A123 Systems Inc.

The approval by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) came more than a month after a Delaware bankruptcy judge signed off on the deal, valued at nearly $257 million.
