Think of how many corporations the Saudis have invested in.

I know Citigroup is largely owned by some Saudis.

What's the differene if we let the Chinese buy an oil company outright as opposed the Saudis owning a large share of Citigroup.

I think we'd be more hurt in the short term if the Saudis divested themselves of their Citigroup stock that Chine buying a small oil company.

Perhaps long term, having them own several oil companies would not be the wisest thing that could happen.
