Market access for Chinese investors, but

not for Canadian investors

From: Sold Down the Yangtze

$1.10

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.
