its funny that when a Chinese company wanted to buy UNOCAL there was a lot of US opposition to the deal, I cant remember if it was blocked or they withdrew but it seems to me another indicator that globalism is dead.

(now the US has a strategic oil reserve, Canada for instance doesnt, but boy was there a ruckus when Trudeau tried to establish govt control with the National Energy Policy)

the same goes for the recent attempt by Mittal steel. Its ok if western companies buy and control assets in nonwestern countries but not vice versa.

Little Hawk, doesnt everyone form their opinion on the basis of their belief system? even in fact if its a neutral opinion such as yours.
cheers.
