posing this kind ofthreat:most of its firms are only just finding their feet abroad.Even in naturalresources,where it has been most active in dealmaking,it is not close tocontrolling enough supply to

companies run their acquisitions for politics,not profit?So long as other firms could satisfy consumersneeds,it wouldnot matter.Chinese companies could safely be allowed to own energy firms,for instance,in a competitive market where customers could turn to othersuppliers.And if Chinese firms throw subsidised capital around the world,thats fine.America and Europe could use the money.The danger that cheapChinese capital might undermine rivals can be better dealt with by beefing upcompetition law than by keeping investment out.Not all Chinese companies are state-directed.Some are largelyindependent and mainly interested in profits.Often these firms are makingthe running abroad.Take Volvos new owner,Geely.Volvo should now beable to sell more cars in China;without the deal its future was bleak.Chinese firms can bring new energy and capital to flagging companiesaround the world;but influence will not just flow one way.To succeedabroad,Chinese companies will have to adapt.That means hiring localmanagers,investing in local research and placating local concerns-forexample by listing subsidiaries locally.Indian and Brazilian firms have anadvantage abroad thanks to their private-sector DNA and more open cultures.That has not been lost on Chinese managers.1.In face of Chinas economic expansion abroad,the author of this article
