Another data point on why you should not take money or sell your business to Chinese investors. Their price points for pricing companies is strange (e.g. a lot higher than western pricing) and it would make sense that they're doing it for other, perhaps more nefarious, reasons.

If I’m selling my company and a Chinese buyer offers me more, I’m not going to turn him down just because he’s Chinese.

The question doesn't mean much without knowing more details.
In general, most people would say that the short-term financial outcome is not the only important factor.

They may say that, but they're probably still going to take the short-term financial outcome because there's no discernible long-term downside for them.

Acquisitions for a company's data is not something that's limited to China.

He seems to be suggesting that they place an abnormally high valuation on that data which suggests, maybe I’m misinterpreting?, nefarious aims.
