Yes, details like that. Very good. Details such as those wouldn't concern any reasonable person when viewed in the context of proper vetting through the CFIUS (established by whom? Congress!!).

USTR spokeswoman Neena Moorjani refused to say whether the postponement was related to the controversy over the port operations.
