Why would the author of this article have a problem with it?
I take it that you are channeling the ignorance of the author's nephew for effect. Surely, you understand the difference between the two cases. An analogy would have been American Revolutionaries seizing third country-owned companies during the revolution. Because you surely weren't comparing state-owned foreign investment with the occupation of a country, are you?

"state-owned foreign investment"

Now there's a term that really has a place in a free nation. LOL.
