As a point of reference: Chinese investors bought 37 German companies in the first half of 2016 (39 in all of 2015)[0]. It's noteworthy that those investments tend to be with the idea of a long term engagement. Also interesting that some (most?) of the companies have been bought and restructured and resold at a profit by funds. Buy, restructure and sell to the Chinese seems to be a common strategy. I'm not a fan of the "we buy here, you can't buy in our country" mantra but by and large I see these investments less critically than most people I know. I think they are genuinely interested in keeping the companies profitable and importing/improving the technology (and not just strip mining for tech/ideas as many people claim).
