Yes, I've never worked out why all the western countries are allowing China to take over so much infrastructure and other projects, even though the same would never be allowed in China.

For instance, there has been a lot of Chinese investment in Australia, with Chinese companies being allowed special permission to bring in their own low-paid staff at the expense of higher paid Australians, yet China has a very well enforced law that says foreigners are not allowed to be employed in jobs that can be filled by locals. I've met quite a few highly qualified foreign engineers etc in China who expect to walk into a job here, then see them a few months later, when they're either working as English teachers or leaving the country cos they can't get any decent work.

I'm sure it will all come back to haunt us in the years to come though, when anyone who pays any attention to what is going on will say "I told you so".
