I must say that this is not really my area of expertise, but my assumption is that if you have a failing Canadian asset, unless it's going to be viable and profitable, then only states that have a geostrategic interest in acquiring that asset will make the investment. My concern is that China will be able to use the fact that there's unemployment and economic distress in a certain sector to acquire assets, and then use that as leverage to achieve other of its geostrategic goals. The state has the resources to do that. If China feels that it's a national geostrategic priority, they will do so.
We do know that China has already engaged in extensive investments, mergers, acquisitions and outbound investments since January of 2020 in a wide variety of countries and regions—the U.S., the U.K., Germany, France, Canada, India, Hong Kong, South Korea and Australia—so clearly the Chinese state has the capacity to coordinate of its geostrategic interests and can go in there at a moment of economic weakness and engage in investment activities that we might regard as predatory.
