[Cssa-L] Does China invest in US start-ups founded by Chinese?

[LI, Chunshen (Don)]

Forgive me for using English for this note, typing English is Much Faster for 
me.

My original post raised two questions or points (depending on how you view it).
A) Investing or depositing a HUMONGOUS amount of money from one country to 
another is not necessarily a good choice for the home country.  


The argument of 避免资金因为通胀而贬值 won't stand a chance, have you noticed the QE2 in 
the recent past?  QE stands for Quantitative Easing, an economic term, 2 here 
for the second time,  put it bluntly, devalue the currency, that is, the US 
dollar.  An extremely decent and thoughtful American interestingly brought out a 
shrunk dollar bill to explain to the audience in a recent talk show, he said, 
"Look, this is what is happening, we borrow money from others and then return 
with this"... His point is, it's not right to do something like that!

B) Investing in selective US or even European start-ups founded by Chinese with 
money from sources in China may be worth consideration?
This is not necessarily a zero-sum game, that is, the host country would be hurt 
or lose anything, nothing like that!  And after all, hiring would be local 
mostly.

Respectfully, the following argument doesn't hold water,

"华为可能真的没有任何政府背景。联想也是。"
Why couldn't you argue like this?
Lockheed and Boeing etc. all have huge presence in China and they are all 
monstrous US government contractors, but look, The Chinese government did not 
prevent them from doing business in China, so, with the same token why couldn't 
these Chinese companies do business in the US?   A simple and yet powerful 
argument, and yet to be heard in the media...

And let me expand a bit,
Superficial fact:
China enjoys large international trade surplus year in and year out.  Lots of 
powerful people in the world complained about it... and I've never heard of a 
simple and again potent argument, Most of the Profits of the Chinese surplus are 
actually in the pockets of MNCs in China, if you're unhappy, go, talk to them!

>国家投资无非是投资国债或合作项目等，极少针对某一公司投资，国家投资主要是为了避免资金因为通胀而贬值，赚钱赢利不是主要目的。不知道你要表达什么，很幼稚的问法，一个国家怎么可能针对一个公司进行投资？国家不是投行。尤其是在海外市场对本国公司。带政府背景的公司要想在海外发展是很多障碍的，看看华为最近的新闻就知道了，尽管华为可能真的没有任何政府背景。联想也是。

>国家要大力发展某一方面的工业，一般是在国内给予优惠和行政补贴。查查国内太阳能企业就知道了。中国新能源公司在国内得到了大量的政府补贴，所以能有今天的地位。美国最大的太阳能公司First
>Solar，现在明显因为无法和中国企业竞争出现市场占有下滑，尽管受大环境影响，盈利还是很高，相比国内同类企业，其增长仅为30%-60%，国内企业一般在100%年增长以上，不知道这算不算你所谓的投资国内企业。

>>中国对美国财政投资 at about $1.5 trillion, 大笔大笔钱啊， 赚钱了吗？ 合算吗？
>>中国也尽力促很多人回中国做事， 可理解。
>>可我没听说，中国化个零头投资于在美的中国人开的公司？ 我不是指餐馆，那太多了，没法搞的。 意义可能也不大， 也许我太“孤闻寡闻”了， 也许已经做起来了。

>>闲聊， 请指教。
