It was already announced by the aministration that there would be limits.

There will be a lot of foreign investment. If it an opportunity for you and I to make money.............it's an opportunity for them. The key will be if it is considered solid enough that institutional investors jump in, i.e. retirement funds etc.

Plus there are too many people chilling these days which is causing this country to get bought out right from under us.

In a free market, you can't really stop anyone from buying stock in a company.
Before the bankruptcy you would have been buying a company Billions in debt and with a crappy non competitive union contract. Now on the other hand...........................

One small problem there..........we all voted them in. Those crooks speak for us.

It really saddens me as an American to see people defend this kind of thing. :(

When your all working for Wal-mart or worse yet out of job all together ,then one day maybe you'll wake up to what's really going on.
GM won't be selling share to the Chinese. GM has no way to specifically prohibit who or what institution buys the shares. In fact the Chinese likely owned shares before the bankruptcy. So I would hate to see you change your mind because of that. GM won't become a foreign owned company from this.

And as for your last comment............preaching to the choir
