RESPONSE: You have not even finished reading the post in its entirety, else you would have noted the Chinese failure in acquiring....the post was not about an exception but two in less than two years and ones that really mattered ! Since you need to be spoon fed here it is... excerpt: The collapse of the deal is the second time in less than a year in which a foreign acquisition raised protests about the economic security of the United States. Cnooc, a Chinese government-owned oil company, dropped a bid to buy Unocal in July, after it was clear that opposition would run high. Chevron took over the company instead, for $18 billion. Ends. Have you no shame, no self respect to go on pandering falsehoods on this forum ? The U.S. Govt only wants foreign entities, including Sovereign Wealth Funds, to buy T Bills and to bail out doggy US financial institutions. I have no issues with the US Govt policy, neither should you but to blatantly and falsely give readers the impression that the US is an open market is sheer balderdash. -- DEV BOREM KORUM.
