This is really a private matter between these two market capitalist entities.
Nothing really political here, just the normal process of more or less free international markets among private players and occasional dirty tricks by governments acting as private players. Just call it ' team play '.
No need for benighted investors, or God forbid, citizens, to have a care.
Is China a so called ' market state ', or is that something else, yet again?
Any sovereignty or constitutional or military issues here?
Not to worry.
Call in Professor Counselor Bobbitt. He can perhaps help us with being on the verge of a new constitutional order,
since we are sort of, figuratively, on the verge of China, in many ways, already; just not quite Chinafied enough quite yet.
Perhaps China might be made our fifty-first state (?), as we seem to like large numbers of them, historically, anyway,
to help us maintain separations of powers at all levels.
Would that many new voters (billion) sway an election?
Many big political and economic decisions, and actions, are taken routinely by American politicians, based on influence of, and from, foreign governments and NGOs, as well as American private entities and individuals. (Think eg NAFTA AND WTO, Nixon Shock, trade and commerce history chronicled in Trading Places, etc. for example.)
No one here voted for them (foreign political leaders, big foreign lobbyist interests), but sovereignty was given up in this way,
just as surely as it was in the ways discussed in Sovereignty At Bay regarding multinationals and their foreign direct investment history.
