Market access for Chinese investors, but
not for Canadian investors
From: Sold Down the Yangtze

Chinese companies have a general right in
the FIPA to buy into Canada’s economy, which is then subject
to limitations in some cases. On the other hand, Canadian
investors have no general right to buy into China’s economy
and, even if they did have that right, the FIPA would subject
it to more limitations than in the case of Chinese investors in
Canada.
