Sweet Competition
There might be a chocolate lining in the debate between those like Britain's "shadow chancellor" George Osborne:
Mr Osborne's support for Chinese inward investment comes amid unrest in parts of Europe over the possibility that China and the Gulf states could use their fast-growing funds to buy companies for political reasons.
Mr Osborne, who recently visited China, endorsed the trend where «increasingly in Britain we see not just 'made in China' but 'owned by China'».
«Those of us who believe in free trade should welcome this investment,» he said. «We should resist the siren calls of protectionism in all its forms.
«China's development is bringing balance back to the world economy.»
...and Christopher Cox, chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, who warns "...governments behind these funds could use their spy agencies to illegally collect insider-information on companies."
What goes around the world, like money and chocolate, comes around...and often settles right around the waist.
