It is important to balance out the positives and negatives for a country and sometimes even economic growth and other things that may seem positive can erode the very culture and momentum of a nation by having too much outside influence and control. For example China has been buying up major stock in the US Government as well as energy resources around the world including South America and Africa. We must be careful to keep a scorecard and balance that ensures control is left with the country itself and that countries are not “bought up” by private or even government controlled firms that may have alterior motives counter-productive to the nations that they do business in.
