DABOSS I agree.  However, if I read your original post correctly, GIS can want to move forward with this deal but the Chinese government can stop the deal if they want--no?  Also, the huge increase in  Chinese investment in the U.S. in 2016 is a reflection of the Chinese businessmen and women getting rich over the past several years and now trying to get their money out of the country when they can before the you know what hits the fan economically.  Their whole economy is artifically managed by the government, they are novices in having a capitalist like system and could easily screw it up, IMO.
