Not only that Canada and the US are starting to put legislation in place to block any M&A activity by foriegn owned corporations that are owned or operated by governments as opposed to private companies. I agree with them. We should also be doing a better job at fighting back against industrial espionage by China too. I say it's time to limit the business we do with them outright beyond cheap shoes and trinkets.
It's a relative world and this US = worse than China garbage has gone on long enough. It's easy to condemn the US, everything they do domestically and abraod is under the microscope. However our lens on China is obscured by their facist, totalitarian, government (we honestly don't even know about countless other attrocities that they sweep under the rug from foreigners and their own people). When China is free and open, then and only then can such comparisons even be made. I'm not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
