I'm sure not every chinese investor is trying to pawn you for nationalistic interests: the majority are probably in it for capitalistic gain. Seems no different

  There's the scenario where such a capitalistic gain oriented investor is contacted by a PRC intelligence agency and made an offer he can't refuse. Remember this is a country where such a refusal can land you in a forced labor camp (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laogai https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laogai) or executed with your family being sent the bill for the cost of the bullet (and they have the highest per capita rate of this in the world, based on the best available data, they also make this rather public). It's also pretty natural for such a person to e.g. object to the PRC being the invaders in the remake of Red Dawn and make the company replace them with the DPRK (and while that's ludicrous, I wasn't exactly impressed by a Latin American Communist invasion of the center of the country in the original, although that got around the biggest logistics problem AKA the US Navy).
