China is on a massive buying spree. Whether or not they get Union Oil and Maytag is still up in the air but MG Rover is a done deal.

An emerging nation with billions of people (and billions of dollars) needs to fuel their country's future needs but at what expense to the United States and Great Britain?

Well lets face it. The US empire is declining (like the brittish one before), and the china star is rising. This is just the beginning. Wait what happens when a billion chinese start buying stuff, producing things. All the US has left is where the UK is now, they can think back of the good old times. This is the beginning they will eat us alive if we don't move, get better educated, more innovative.

We're supposed to be the bastion of capitalism, so why ***** about them buying things? We're getting their money after all, and they can't take those factories to China.

C'mon, you know they're not going to move an oil refinery to China. And if we didn't buy their poop, I guess there wouldn't be problem? Let's mine the Walmart parking lot.
