Yes. So there are two considerations. One is competitive balance internationally. That is a consideration.

But you also have to consider whether the government has the legal authority to make the investment. For a country claiming a limited government and the rule of law, that is a serious consideration.

You seem to be focused on the first consideration, but do not overlook the second one.
