Dubya vetoed, iirc, a proposed Chicom (think it was CNOOC) buyout of Union Cal, which owned big acreage Stateside as well as some big fields in the Gulf of Siam. That was about 18 years ago.
The Chinese did buy Nexen (formerly called Canadian Oxy) and got a big chunk of Athabaskan Tar Sands producing properties, plus other properties.
