I think China SHOULD be allowed to buy Maytag, Unocal, and other companies
Why? More of our jobs are going to China anyway.
If we're an ownership society, with free enterprise and all the other exuses behind the anti-american behavior they are engaging in, we should let them own the core instead of just the work. America's dead anyway.
A Chinese firm bought IBM's PC division (Lenovo)...
I'm happy for China that they're finally utilizing the fruits of the seeds we've been spitting at them for 32 years; evenr since Nixon's visit.
It spells the functional end of the small town Maytag is home to, Newton Iowa. I know a lot of folks there and it will hit them hard. However, as you say, that is the price of this ownership society that we seem to endorse and want to export.
