Rep. Duncan Hunter - protectionist dullard?

[Proletariat]

I dont think a blanket rule one way or the other is the way to go with state-owned foreign investment.

How come? Any state corporation has a guaranteed market base. A share of business that cannot be taken away except by act of parliament, or whatever. This means that they can mismanage the US ports, while making up any business losses with their monopoly. This means they can cut corners and make a mistake, and still be unpunished whatever country they're from.

I know I'm stating the obvious to you, so what am I missing?

Edit: Just saw this..

I think it'd be a fine "thank you" to Dubai for servicing the American Navy in the Middle East to tell them to go screw when they want to do business domestically.

..and I can see why you might think I'm being naive.
