would you have considered it appropriate if the plant was owned by Communist China

I think Communist China already runs some of our ports.

The company I worked for built high tech products, so, I don't think the U.S. would have allowed China to own it. I think a company thats just loads and unloads cargo containers doesn't fall into that category.
