have state owned companies acquire critical infrastructure
Europe privatizing its critical infrastructure and trading their controlling shares on the open market is not “Chinese” problem.
What’s more, it certainly isn’t a military threat, when the capital itself is still firmly within the sovereign domain of the host country. European states are well within their power to re-nationalize these privatized companies. They just won’t do that because it threatens the interests of their domestic oligarchs who own the preponderance of outstanding shares.
No evidence of secret Chinese police stations
