Chinese company HQs on paper only in Alberta. The problem used to be Chinese state-organized enterprises (SOE) like CNOOC.  After the Harper government approved the $15-billion SOE take-over of Nexen, further SOE acquisitions were not to be approved. China changed tack -- Chinese companies assumed names as private enterprises. China could follow the route taken by 'anonymous' organizations (including criminal ones) by using 'numbered companies' inside Canada. That's allowed by Canadian politicians who don't care about the Canadian economy, but want campaign donations from ANY donor. Former Canadian oil companies were allowed to take on debt as the federal & Alberta governments threw favourable subsidies & tax holidays at them as if 'the party' would never end. 'Boom & Bust' is written into Alberta politics, but Alberta won't even own its next 'cycle', and Canadians will be neither owners nor workers. All this was predicted in the RCMP's 1997 Sidewinder Report, banned by Jean Chretien.
