Okay, I'll try to make it more comprehensive. Boeing invests lots of capital developing facilities in China. Should China and the U.S. come into conflict, China could threaten to nationalize those facilities, costing Boeing its investment. Thus, China has "economic hostages" that could be used to pressure Boeing into using its political clout in America to further Chinese interests. That is a threat to our national security.
And as to the sale of technology during Clinton, that's free trade in action.

You believe Boeing should move its headquarters out of this country? That is the end result of your train of thinking.
US companies should not invest abroad because those investments might be nationalized and this could produce forces to harm national security? This is cutting off your nose to spite your face and surrendering in advance.
No the transfer of technology was not Free Trade. Free Trade does not break the law, Clinton did. For Chinese bribes.
