China has intentionally conflated dealings with government cartels with capitalist enterprise. Its just a means to obscure what would otherwise be called "treason" and sweep under the rug any notion that your business can be, "nationalized" at their whim.
I don't understand how American businesses didn't learn their lesson in Cuba in the 60's?
- coldtea 7y agoWhat would that lesson be? US and American businesses did fine business with the Cuban dictatorship of Batista: "Fulgencio Batista y Zaldívar (/bəˈtiːstə/;[1] Spanish: [fulˈxensjo βaˈtista i salˈdiβaɾ]; born Rubén Zaldívar;[2] January 16, 1901 – August 6, 1973) was a Cuban military officer and politician who served as the elected President of Cuba from 1940 to 1944, and as its U.S.-backed military dictator from 1952 to 1959, before being overthrown during the Cuban Revolution." I guess the takeaway is: "Do business with friendly dictatorships we helped install, as opposed to independent ones".
