These entities (your SOE’s and other state entities) loosely follow the rule of law, however perate with a touch of arrogance in the jurisdictions outside their home countries..
For example, at PDAC this year (2024) several entities were not allowed visas to attend this conference .Chinese companies were able to bi-pass these restrictions by sending individuals as sole persons. Another bone of contention is that several Canadian entities have had extremely difficult issues opening businesses in China.
Yes, Chinese entities has purchased Canadian companies with operations/projects outside of Canada.
However , the business practice of some Chines entities leaves a lot to be desired. I think the government you represent Mr. Ambassador should relocate to somewhere else but here. Thank you for letting me rebut / refute
your argument.
P.S. I didn’t mention technology theft and transfers.
