Don't get me wrong- I agree with you. But at least with China we all know how they operate- unscrupulous would be the most polite word I could use to describe them. Now the USA are a different kettle of fish- they're all smiles and handshakes, while sliding the knife in the back== and unlike China, I still reckon the FIRB would 'accomodate' American ambitions. Time will tell. As a now profitable producer PLS would be a big fish to swallow, so we probably just have to put up with being a home for these leeches. It's likely to be smaller firms still exploring/building/starting up most at risk from our 'friends and allies'.
