As a New Zealander, the arguments about foreigners owning tech companies is shit. Maybe foreigners own 40% of US tech companies, but if 40% of US tech company income is coming from outside of the US then that is fair. The US got a big slice of a bigger pie due to foreign investment. That investment surely supercharged the growth of tech companies (especially via IPOs) - just like good VC can do. And meanwhile the US government is wanting to buy our businesses - and they use policy and agreements/accords to push that agenda to the benefit of the US. New Zealand sells good businesses cheaply to US and EU owners. Our government wants to give away equity and earnings. The right leaning minority party (ACT) are financial plonkers trying to sell New Zealand cheaply like a child loving a credit card. Sell NZ for some immediate income but cost us income over the years (that's the bargain you get with investors). Fine if the pie size is increased, but it isn't.
