  1. They won't tell Americans the Chinese dominate the production of shipping containers And have controling interest in 2/3 rd of the world's largest ports Since the Chinese only have minority interest in a few US ports That's effectively means, what ever gets sent on a cargo ship to the USA Will basically go onto/through a Chinese controlled interest before it gets to the USA, no matter the country it was sent from

So any FDI from the Chinese to the USA is a National Security Risk, Concern, Intrest, Review etc That was with a Chinese takeover, merger, partnership of an existing US corporation. Now imagine a Chinese Company bringing over its own technology the horror!!!!!!!
