    I don’t know, I’m not condoning the move. But either way it’s already owned by a private company (and I’m also not sure if it can be considered public infrastructure)

      yeah, didn’t really think about the definition of “public” at time of commenting. still, selling off any piece of infrastructure to china is just plain dumb.
