I suspect the Chinese are looking for "good investments" rather than "control" . . . at THIS time. On the other hand, if it weren't for Tata in India, we might not have Jaguar.
About a decade or so ago, when Citigroup was "floundering" some, Chinese investors helped them out by increasing their stake in ownership by about another 10%. To me, knowing how the Chinese are buying USTreasury Notes (our national debt), that should have been a red flag, but the financial people downplayed the possible of a Chinese financial takeover . . . OR seek to trade that debt for control. THIS is why economic issues with China might be rather touchy!
In other words, the USA is probably more "in hock" to other powerful countries who have an excess of money to put somewhere. I guess we should be proud those countries think so highly of our deeply in debt nation, but then we're not nearly as deep as some oriental nations!
